    Jesus Christ this is absolute nightmare fuel for me. Brought back flashbacks of the time my friends and I (teenagers at the time) got lost in the underground drainage tunnel network beneath Las Vegas/Henderson, literally hundreds of feet below ground and an hour's walking distance (guessing 2 miles or so into the network) away from the entrance. Hot, cramped, hard to move, hard to breathe, dark, and acutely aware there is hundreds of thousands of tons of rock and dirt and concrete above your head preventing you from getting out. I could only watch about a minute and a half of this before I started freaking out. Would not spend ten minutes crawling through that thing for a million dollars. Not hyperbole - I wouldn't do it.
