POV: You’re a Tunnel Engineer For the Sinaloa Cartel (Based on a True Story)

POV: You’re a Tunnel Engineer For the Sinaloa Cartel (Based on a True Story) You're an architect with a degree gathering dust. A man in a polo shirt offers you three years' salary for one construction project. You descend into a hole in the ground and realize you're no longer free. This is the true story of the narco-tunnel architects—the engineers who designed the sophisticated cross-border drug tunnels beneath Tijuana and San Diego. Men with degrees in architecture and civil engineering, recruited or coerced by cartels to build underground passages complete with ventilation systems, rail tracks, hydraulic doors, and lighting. Between 1990 and 2016, authorities discovered over 180 tunnels along the US-Mexico border. The sophisticated ones cost millions to build and generated hundreds of millions in revenue. They featured elevator systems, concrete reinforcement, and engineering that rivaled legitimate infrastructure projects. And the men who designed them learned too late that the cartel's employment contract has only one severance package. This story follows one architect's journey from a village outside Guadalajara to a warehouse in Tijuana's Otay district. Seventeen laborers worked twelve-hour shifts in the darkness, promised $75 a week and passage north. The tunnel moved $300 million in product before discovery. The workers who dug it went to prison. The crew before them went to a mass grave in the desert. Three years later, when El Chapo escaped through a tunnel with arched ceilings, ventilation design, rails and lighting—the architect recognized the blueprint. Because it was his. Based on true events documented in DEA reports, Mexican federal police investigations, and testimony from arrested tunnel engineers. #NarcoTunnels #TrueStory #CartelEngineering #BorderTunnels #Documentary
