A drug-smuggling tunnel equipped with electricity, ventilation and a rail system has been found connecting San Diego, California, and Tijuana, Mexico.
Authorities seized more than eight tons of marijuana and 325lb (147kg) of cocaine in the discovery.
Officials have not revealed the exact length or location of the recently finished tunnel, but Mexican media report it is near Tijuana's airport.
More than 75 such secret tunnels have been discovered since 2008.

I know that area (Otay Mesa) very well. I saw the raid in 2005 or 2006 that shut down the biggest tunnel found yet. That tunnel was almost a mile long and came up in the precise location of the corner office of a warehouse building. A Border Patrol agent told me that they have no idea how many tunnels are down there. The soil there is hard decomposed granite and is perfect for tunneling. There are literally truck loads of people and contraband passing through. The cargo passes through the tunnels and into 18 wheel trucks. All of this is in addition to the other smuggling methods.

Plant explosive rope the length of it, wait until it is full of miscreants, and detonate.
Wouldn’t it be fun to exploit after you found it?

I notice the article didn't say anything about arrests or rolling up a network or dealers.

These tunnel builders probably could build a fast, fully functioning health care website in a few days under budget.
