How

[Modelmaker]

New person, have watched way too many episodes to not ask, how can a human dig with pick and shovel 130 some feet deep with a 13' circumference hole, how do you dig a flood tunnel out to the ocean underground. What happens when you break out into the water, die?
I have a feeling that the commercial money is enough to sucking us all in?
What am I missing?
