Several Pittsburgh Pirates are using a 500-ton boring machine to secretly dig a tunnel beneath the Allegheny River that will run from PNC Park to downtown.“It’s our only way out,” one of the players explained. “Our goal is to be over in Gateway Center before Mr. Nutting even has a chance to blow the siren and release the dogs.”
Last week the tunnel builders were shocked to find that their giant boring machine was missing. Mayor Ravensahl had borrowed it to take some friends to a Toby Keith concert.
