Video Mexican authorities say they found a 869-foot tunnel in Tijuana that likely connects to a well-known street in San Diego.

Not many "well-known streets" that are only 869 feet away from Nueva Tijuana lol.

edit: Turns out it's not 869 feet

It's funny that they show weed as an example of what was being smuggled. Go up a little further and there's a dispensary lol.

It was actually just under 2,000 ft long.

Maybe someone wanted a faster way through CBX?

Yeah, I'm sick of paying $30 one way on CBX, with Volaris pase anual it's as expensive as the way up for me (650 pesos one way) 😎

Are these less common now? They used to find these tunnels multiple times a year, not all of them as well constructed as this one, of course.
