BELCHERTOWN (CBS) – Shortly after midnight Tuesday, seven people were caught trespassing at the Quabbin Reservoir.
State Police say the five men and two women are from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore, and “cited their education and career interests” for being in the area. The men told police they were chemical engineers and recent college graduates.
I concur 100 %.....
Thank you for adding some perspective to that. It makes A LOT more sense now!
Good info. Thanks.
I'd guess with an internet connection and bit of searching, I could identify the water supply for most any US city.
I put "water supply for Boston" into Bing.com and it gave me this:

You can't be serious. Is it too hard to imagine one querying Boston water supply on Google and then picking up a map.
Water supply falls in the domain of Civil Engineering, not Chemical Engineering. They are outright lying. Law enforcement is stupid. The State department is treasonous for letting these students into the US.
Depends on what you poison it with.
Something biological replicates.
Refresh my memory - did we train German and Japanese students at our technical Universities during World War II?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Nope, but we did train Japanese Americans and German Americans at our technical universities.
“I wonder how they even found out about this?”
Do you mean how did the cops find out or do you mean how the kids found the reservoir?
The cops patrol from Rt 9 on a regular basis; checking with pals at UMASS Amherst, Quabbin is a common party destination.
Guess I should have been clearer. I meant, how did the cops even find out, given the time and the huge area that would have to be watched. I did find the answer in the longer article, that the cop got lucky enough to pass by while the kids’ cars were parked at a gate, and that the kids just happened to come out while the cop was there checking the cars.
I was not mocking you if that’s what u thought. I was agreeing with your good point / question.
Depends upon the chemistry.
My father’s family was German - came here before WWI. One of my uncles served and was at D-Day. I’m OK with Americans of all stripes being educate here.. I’m fine with Muslims Americans being educated here - they’re Americans - part of the family. But I’m not interested in educating the sons and daughters of Bin Laden and other Saudis and/or Arabs. When the war with radical Islam is over fine... but for now? No. They should be ‘educated’ in their home countries.
I remember an old story I heard about Quabbin, that there were homes that used to be where the water is now, and some people refused to leave and were drowned. Doubt it was true.
No, they were moved out, with force if necessary. The part about the homes is correct; there four towns and the surrounding land taken by eminent domain.
Graves were dug up and moved — there is a huge cemetary on the south side of Rte 9.
There’s a fairly accurate wikipedia article about the events leading up to the creation of the Quabbin.
My family was Scottish. They came over as indentured servants who worked like slaves, then simply broke their indentures of servitude and went out on their own.
I agree with you. AAnyone who is here is American, and many of us have rich family traditions. We should not be inviting trouble though, just to observe some weird idea about globalism. That has hurt our nation horribly by inflicting demographic warfar on its citizens.
It should not be happening and it should be ended.In particular we should not be taking in Saudi Arabians to educate them in anything.
I like the story of your family .... and I agree that “we should not be inviting trouble... just to observe some weird idea about globalism.” Thanks for sharing Condor - we’re on the same page.
