Cops Find Tunnel to Brazil Prison
By Associated Press
Published: 02/05/2001

Police recently found a massive tunnel heading from a slum toward a maximum-security prison on Rio De Janeiro's poor north side.
The 88-yard, concrete-lined tunnel was not yet completed, but it had reached within 165 yards of Bangu 3 prison.
'I was impressed with the size and the technology. Whoever planned this understood engineering,' State Security Secretary Josias Quintal told reporters at a press conference.
The tunnel, dug some six yards beneath the earth, was nearly three feet wide and five-and-a-half feet high. It was filled with pickaxes, fans and lanterns as well as two water pumps.
'It looks like something out of James Bond,' Rio Justice Secretary Joao Luiz Pinaud told reporters.
Police arrested a man who was eating lunch in the house where the tunnel started. The man told police he had worked on the tunnel but said he had no idea where it was headed.
The Bangu 3 prison houses 896 inmates. Police discovered the tunnel after an anonymous tip.

    A wrongful death is a claim against a third party that is brought in a civil lawsuit for money damages. There are many state statutes that provide for the people who can bring those actions and what damages that those people can obtain. When a family member dies because of another person, it is a scary. It can be hard to make decisions. If you have a Waco wrongful death, then you should call Dunnam & Dunnam. They have answers. They are compassionate and experienced fatal accident lawyer that can help you understand the laws and provide free case evaluations.
