I've read about this story man times, and many times I've brought it up to talk about with 3 of my relatives, 2 who work for the third, and the third owns a large excavation company. They have done enormous jobs of moving enormous amounts of earth.

Every one of them says it's total BS, and they have told me many ways that they could get down to that area with little safety flaws.

one of the ways that we think is probably the best and safest, is that you dig a side trench, about 20x20feet, you go down 20 or 30 feet, and you dig another thats 19 feet, and its stepped off to one of the sides.

Now unless there are actually huge HOLES that are letting the water in, it is seeping through earth to get into the pit, there is no way that water can seep through earth fast enough that certain industrial pumps (however many you need) won't get the water out.
I'm talkin some of the pumps that you can get for industrial work will pump 5-6 THOUSAND gallons of water a minute. Water does not seep that fast.

if it is actually holes that are feeding the water, they can be plugged well enough that they will only seep, they make a tar that you can pump into the holes and it will combine with the ground in so many seconds after it comes into contact with H2O. This is how they deal with underground springs when they are trying to move earth. They will plug it, let it seep and then they send people out to find where it's backing up and bubbling out of the ground, and divert the water around wherever they are building.



Pretty much saying, with all the experience and technology that my relatives know about dealing with the removal of earth, it is extremely possible to remove something thats 200 feet underground.

Actually the first thing that my uncle said when I told him about the story was "It's ONLY 200 feet? hahaha"
