The Secret Tunnels Beneath New York - IT'S HISTORY

It’s Brooklyn not Brookland

Brooklyn wanted to be a city of its own, separate from New York, and perhaps we should have let it be.😂

Texas wanted to be its own country, separate from the United States, and perhaps we should have let it be 😂

OLD NEW YORK WAS ONCE NEW AMSTERDAM, WHYD THEY CHANGE I CANT SAY, GUESS THE PEOPLE LIKE IT BETTER THAT WAY

Rome never fell. Wake up

Those pools were initially barred to blacks.

Dude, you need a Hulu series or something. I LOVE THESE!

After learning of the mudflood and Tartaria and all the “fires and earth quakes” things make much more sense.

What about Chinatown, what under Chinatown?

Bob Diamond's tours of the tunnel (via that manhole on Atlanic Ave) were well known and had been going on for years before it was finally closed down. What happened was that he allowed a party to happen inside the tunnel, which raised the ire of the fire department because there was only 1 exit out of the tunnel. Because of that violation, he lost the right to hold events in the tunnel and the tunnel was resealed. He never did find out if a locomotive was buried at the other end.

“you can’t just walk down a sketchy ladder stuck in a manhole cover in the middle of a live street!!!”. also the city: “ok bob go down that man hole cover and don’t complain or your fired”

With all the tunnels and subways underneath New York, why do the buildings on ground level remain standing? It seems to me they should fall down under their own weight.😢😮

SECRET......yeah very secret....yeppers almost unheard of. :)

CONSPIRACY THEORISTS CRACK ME UP. EVEN TODAY. :)

There are no blueprints for alot of these tunnels! Several.years ago, there was a gentleman, who would lead tours of visitors down there. He'd pop open a manhole in the middle of the street and before the light would change, they'd all.skiddadle down there..I really should have gone! I will regret that all my life. I should have signed up for that little tour.

I worked at McCarren.

I hope they find a way to turn it into some modern day subway system. Every time I go to Cincinnati I get stuck in traffic!

Great video

The tunnels under the Waldorf are still there.

Has this ever been used for bunkers

They lost that space to rats...what a damn shame.

I like how you gave WPA credit for NYC pools, instead of Robert Moses, who actually built them.

Nice, but what about the hospital tunnel on 67th Street btwn. Lex and 3rd? And the Ruppert's Brewery tunnel on UES from apx. 2nd Ave. to East Rivet?

Perfect for homeless to sleep

The mention of the name General Pershing reminds me of my phone number growing up back when the first two numbers were supplanted with letters in conversation as in; Pershing 1- 06–, or PE1-06–.

Wow that's just fascinating like the work done in New York alone makes me feel like they were already rear like some of the mudfleed videos etc blow them mind x

So the FBI was also out of their minds back in 1917 and the 1940’s. Just like today!

I hope you see this dude, there used to be a building in Staten Island and a backstory attached to it. Its called The Monestary. The story is it used to be a school or something and then a teacher(monk) went crazy and went on a killing spree. Taking the bodies down a hidden staircase that goes down and down and down and down. People reported it having 30 sub levels and the goal was to reach the bottom sublevel and you would get to meet the monks ghost. Many people have reported they went down 15 plus sublevels and decided to go no further with the things they saw at each level. It seemed to progress and get worse and worse. One floor looked like jail cells. Unfortunately the building was knocked down and filled in. This was a legitimate building that I visited right before it's demolition. I couldn't find the hidden staircase in time and I didn't get to to search the whole main floor and 1st basement level where the hidden spiral staircase leading to hell is in. Scratches on the walls as if someone was trying to claw their way out. I still have the same nightmare to this day, I dream of going down an infinite amount of times from a door in my basement. There has to be an access/escape tunnel since it was essentially a huge Bunker under there as it sounds. There has to be a ventilation shaft somewhere.

👌👌👌

You know what we often say: Secret tunneeeeel secret tunneeeeeeel, through the mountain, secret secret secret secret TUNNEEEEEL

When I was a boy, my friend lived in a pre-revolutionary house in Jericho, Long Island, NY and in the cellar was a tunnel used for escaping if needed. My friend and I tried to open the gate to explore, but his father would not unlock it, he said it was dangerous.

THERES secret tunnels under every major city in america and connecting some of them as well...... its good to here the mainstream narratives from this guy....

👍👏😊♥️

Great video and good info!! What are some of the oldest things in NYC that are still currently used? Like buildings, traffic lights , bridges or signs?

🧡🇨🇦🧡

Nosferatu warrens, the lot of them!

I'm watching this a second time! Great video!

Old kids tv show Ghostwriter brought me here.

BS...rats overtook it. More like snakes trafficking what?

I've personally been in the tunnel system of a long abandoned hospital. The former 12-story main building itself has been long demolished, but some of its outer campus buildings including the old powerhouse still remain. What also remains is its extensive underground tunnel system.

I also know of someone who was investigating an extensive long abandoned underground tunnel system when they gained access to the sub basement of a building. I don't remember if the sub basement had power, but they said it was largely untouched including restrooms. The big type of round sink found in old industrial installations, locker rooms and storage areas and mechanical areas with boiler and water handling equipment. Interestingly, when attempting to go up the steps they found the stairwells to be filled with rubble. Same with the elevator shafts. They also found one section of the basement with much newer foundation pilings and a "waterfall" of now dried concrete that had poured from above running down one of the walls.
As it turns out, the building that the sub basement had one served had been demolished unbeknownst to the demolition crew or the builders of the new building that sat on one corner of the old property the sub basement actually survived the demolition and remains intact to this day.

Okay but how do I get inside?

Tunnel Snakes rule.

Fascinating

Tunnels were not forgotten, that is absurd. These tunnels are a monumental feat of engineering and brickwork. Where did all the bricks come from? There was a limit to how many could be produced until 1895. These tunnels were already here, plain and simple.

Just discovered your channel. Wonderful presentation. Congratulations on an excellent media platform.

look at all those toilets in more door
i heard peter pan was about collecting pee for gun powder is that true

This would be awesome to build lair

Hopefully no bodies were found in there

its not the first subway tunnel in the world sorry
