Accidents continue to plague Gaza Tunnel Authority

2008-03-23

Gaza Ma'an A young Palestinian man was killed on Saturday morning after a tunnel under the Egyptian-Palestinian border collapsed in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah, medical sources said.

Medics identified the dead man as 20-year-old Emad Tawfiq. Tawfiq was found under a pile of rubble and taken to Abu Yousef An-Najjar Hospital, said Mu'awiya Hassanain, the director of ambulance and emergency services in the Palestinian Health Ministry. Two other people were injured in the tunnel collapse.

Armed Palestinian resistance groups are reported to use tunnels to smuggle weapons and personnel from Egypt into the Gaza Strip.
Ya don't say?

#2 It sounds like this would be a wonderful place to test some of the equipment I used to use to get roadway deflections under given loads. (It is a small (but heavy) trailer with a adjustable electro/hydraulic ram that would hit the pavement repeatedly, rather vigorously. Sensors pick up the attenuation of the vibrations at a distance from impact.)

This equipment might detect the tunnels and if you are lucky it MIGHT just collapse the roof. If all else fails a small charge, mudded to confine the charge, should do the job.
