• 0:20
  Speaker 1: adventurous lamp. There was also no opportunity for me. Those
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: things are heavy. I don't know how these I think
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: that there's a question there as to how these people
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: are getting them open. So let's get into it. Okay,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the people crawling in and out of manholes across New
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: York City are causing really a ruckus among the people
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: who are keeping their feet firmly planted on our sidewalks
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and subway platforms these days. Okay. It comes after another
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: video surfaced of people crawling out of a manhole cover,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: this time near Penn Station. It happened last week, So
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: is it cause for concern.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: There's a lot more things in this city that I'm
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: wal concerned with.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: That's news to me.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: I have not seen any I just don't understand a
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: lot of things anymore. I feel like our city is
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: in very big chaos and It's sad to me. I've
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: lived in my entire life, and I just don't know
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: what to think anymore.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I've seen it on TV this morning. Sure, I just
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: saw it this morning, and that's for the second time.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Sure, yes, yes, did you.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Hear that guy shack?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And he was like, are you serious? It really triggered
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a conversation and a tirade of questions because a lot
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of people telling me they hadn't heard about it, they
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: hadn't seen it so looking for So when it comes
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to people who were climbing out of manhole covers, that
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: actually came earlier this summer too, in Brooklyn and Queens.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: If you guys remember we covered that. New Yorkers filled
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to the brim with questions.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: What did they exploring?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Are they living in the source?
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: That's very scary? What is down there? Why are they
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: going down there? And I hate saying it. I bet
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: they're young, and I bet they don't really realize what
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: they're doing. How are these holes open? How are they open?
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: And why are the kids going down there? Like I'm sorry.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: If you want to do drugs, you can do it
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: anywhere you want. These days, you can drink anywhere you want.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: To go.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: It's odd.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: You want people really living like this, you know what
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, and you're homeless on the street, they come
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: and collect them. How are they going to go down
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: there taking them out? I mean, you want disease and
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: rats to eat them up when they die? Really, is
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: that what the city's coming to New York for all,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: out of all places.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: In the world. See, this is the conclusions you come
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: to when you have no information. They're thinking they live
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in the shore, so that they're mole people. They're not
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: living in the shores. You're right.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Some headlines have been referring to them as mole people.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: So that's the assumption that people make when they see
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: these headlines. Now, the NYPD doesn't seem so concerned. Detectives
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: have some answers. These people could be scavengers looking for
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: anything valuable within the sewer system. It seems like the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: scavengers are really tied to sort of the migrant culture.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: This became big in twenty twenty two. According to the NYPD.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Cops say, there have been studies done of the infrastructure
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: once these people climb in and out once they're seen,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and there's no threat to the infrastructure. But it's not
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: clear if the suspects have gotten anything from their time underground,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: if they're grabbing anything, what exactly they're doing. So with
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: cops still investigating, I guess.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Part of me says, is there something going on that
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: they don't want to discuss. That's definitely partly what I think.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: They don't want to divulge anything until they figure it out.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Worth may Or with the name my Nannie tell them
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: to get it together. But that's creepy, that's scary.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Anybody's in talent. They have snipers, they have helicopters, they
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: have satellites. Are you kidding me? They can't go down
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: in their old cities. Come on, it's a joke. They
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: don't want to do it, and they're are no ground.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Nobody sees them, nobody follows them, nobody, there's no oversight,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: there's no cameras this city isn't there a lot?
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: I love it. The best stories sometimes are ones with
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: little information. Something shocking happens and nobody knows what it
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: is because the mind goes crazy, and that's what makes
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: it so interesting, as you're finding out today.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, really, the question for the people
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: is is it a national security issue? A lot of
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: people have brought up you know, nine to eleven, twenty
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: five years is around. We're less than a month away
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: from it, and so people have brought up, you know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: people messing around underground. That is sort of a big
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: concern for people, the shock of the immediate story of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: people climbing in and out of these manhole covers. Now
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the cops have caught up with earlier suspects from the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn and Queens incidents. They were charged with low level
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: crimes because they were first time offenders, but a lot
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of those cases were dropped, so they're not even being pursued.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So the NYPD reminding people, hey, it's illegal to climb
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: into the sewer system and you shouldn't be doing it,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and it's highly dangerous, but then again not following through
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: with actually pressing charges and going through with cases.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: That should make us feel a little bit better though
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: that they already talked to them, they know what they
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: kind of know what they're doing, and they know what's
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: going on, and they haven't really charged them with anything,
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: So that makes me feel a little bit better about it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: I don't think it's any kind of terrorist activity or
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: anything nefarious. I think it's just people down there, as
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Curtis has said before, looking for treasure scavengers.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And by the way, remember we've been flushed with these floods,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: so what happens deep underneath the catch basins is they
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: get caught up. So if there are any valuables, they're
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: all like in particular location, whatever extrication tools they might
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: have on them, they're probably going to take that to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: a pawn shop near you.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Right, you'll see it in the nearest display case coming
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to you. But also people saying too, it could be
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a social media thing, but those have yet to pop
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: up where we see people actually climbing through and getting
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in there. So that is a really interesting point in
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: terms of we've had recent storms. It had happened pretty
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: immediately after too they went they went digging for treasure.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: Natalie Migliori is going to be back tomorrow at seven
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: point fifty. That was really fun. Thanks a lot, Natalie.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: When
