To get a good look at everything, let's take a tour of underground New York.
You’ll look at millions of wires and hundreds of thousands of cables, see the sewer system and the water supply system, each three times the length of the Hudson River. But there is much more to it... What secret passages are there? And who lives in this underworld?
Beneath New York lies a vast infrastructure and archaeological wonders. We'll start our behind-the-scenes tour with the layers closest to the surface. Grab your flashlights, we are about to start a fascinating journey called:
"What Lies Under New York?".
I've always been fascinated with the history of what's underground in NYC. I like the way you show how deep everything is, and how relative to the tunnel above it.
As a kid I could never understand where poop went. My parents just said "down the hole!". But then where? It was really fascinating to learn about all the underground piping and infrastructure that people dont know or think about. I was an odd kid.
I'm sure you learned about underground piping from a young age 😂
Its the Internet and no one will believe me, but I was a master pipe layer (lol) at like 10 years old. How? Simcity 2000. Or maybe it was 3000. But still. @@TheRealCesarLeo
I was a licensed class C Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator and believe me All poop goes to the ocean on the coast. I don't eat anything from the ocean. No wonder sharks are biting more people!!!😂
@@user-og2tv9im6cThat "treatment" part is a pretty critical part of the process 🤦♂️
Don’t be ashamed of young curiosity, it’s a sign of a active mind and a asset .
Pneumatic pipes are used in some hospitals as it sends samples to various destinations within the hospital system. I as a patient jokingly called it "Lunch from surgery" as you heard the clunking as it went around corners above our heads but hidden by the ceiling tiles. It is much faster than walking 4 floors and using elevators.
I sometimes heard a brief clanking in the ceiling near the hallway when I was in the hospital.
Tampa General Hospital used pnpneumatic tube systems to send all kinds of small things through the tubes. It saved a lot of time that would take messengers called runners in the hospital to get things sent and received from place to place.
Mail pipes were such an ingenious idea. They are all over the city. In the elegant TV thriller show, White Collar, two entire episodes revolved around these pipes. They were the last two of that fantastic TV show. I remember that civilized show and the ritzy mail pipes with much fondness
I've never been to NYC, but can immagine the city. But the mail, cows, and alligators blew my mind. While watching the mail part, I thought to myself, why no spike has been created in the direction it went. Science was't so much "MAGLEV like", I guess. Excellent video.
Probably the mad cow disease originated right there.
@oper4132 Madcow disease and more started here. In fact we made one of them a TV moderator, rachelll madcow..
Yeah male pipes are the best. I will take the El over tunnel anytime 😊
@5 You mean "mail" pipes, no?
And the fact they said it comes out warm and lubricated 😩
I use pneumatic tubes every day at work. Our hospital is pretty big and they save us so much time when sending papers, prescriptions and lab items
Can a politician fit in these tubes you speak of?
Pneumatic tunes are dope asf
@@joedirt3449pneumatic pubes*
Cool!😊 We used them at Service Merchandise. Customers would walk thru the displays with a small clipboard w/a blank order ticket and copy down the order number and bring it to a cashier who would take their payment, and send the ticket thru the pneumatic tube to the warehouse were the workers would fill the order and and place the items down the conveyer 'belt' (actually, rolling aluminum tubes). ps...that was the late 70's-early 80's.
Cool 😎
Great, informative video 👍
But it needs to be updated to include the synagogue tunnels in Brooklyn 😂
35:26 I don’t blame these people. This akes me wonder how many people have died bc of this “mass eviction”. We live in a very small town here and we see people sleeping outdoors more often than we should.
Some folks may think and/or say “they need to get a job!!” Unfortunately, some of those people have mental issues. Also, how are you supposed to take a shower and be clean enough to work with no shower? How is one supposed to wash their clothes?? How can you work with a rested,ind when you’ve tried to sleep in the freezing cold all night??
It’s very easy to judge these folks. However, putting yourself in their shoes is a whole new ball game. I don’t live in the nicest house ever, but we have a warm, clean, shelter with food and running hot and cold water.
I’ve been on the other side of that fence. It was only for about three days and it was late spring so I didn’t freeze. But it was scary and lonely and just a rotten feeling knowing I didn’t have a bed to sleep in. Or a fridge to get food etc.
I guess I’ve made my point. I pray that the folks who are homeless today get some kind of assistance as soon as possible. Whether it be mental/emotional help or financial help or maybe some extra education or ok of the above to help them have a better quality of life.
So before you judge that man living under a bridge, or that dirty old lady walking down the street, think about what may have happened in their lives that got them to where they are bc one WANTS to live like that.
I want to thank this channel for this video. Y’all did a great job and I found it very interesting and educational. Even entertaining during many moments.
Y’all take care yall! 😊😊😊
dont worry turd has a plan for the homeless (READ "PLAN 2025")
Its asinine what they put down in writting (even the nazis had the forethought to burn the writting on the "final solution")
😂
I understand what you mean.
I bet you've never been camping, or in the military.
Thank you for your words…..I feel so bad for these lost people
35:36 as a public health nurse I can say that there is no single ‘type’ of homeless : those who have no alternative, those who choose to live outside, and those who believe they deserve nothing more.
Of course some cross types, and some are outliers.
How about those who believe in their God given right to live FREE, without PAYING just to BREATHE. Property taxes are as criminal as can be, and NOBODY should be paying them. We have the RIGHT to own land, and when FORCED to pay every YEAR to KEEP those lands, that is NOT 'ownership' is it? That is RENT and ROBBERY.
@@kellycarver2500and what is going to pay for the services for that land? Maybe it's different in the States. Here In Vancouver BC Canada, taxes go to pay for policing, fire department, water sewer etc. I know in California where I owned homes, there's a wonderful thing called prop 13 whereby, so long as the property remains within the family ownership the taxes are not increased according to the value. I didn't own the homes long enough for that too be generational or make a difference to me. An example is that taxes on a friend's home in Beverly Hills that her father built in the '40s went from $10,000 a year in 2019 to $60,000 a year when she died and it left the family's ownership. We don't have that here and our property prices in Vancouver rival or surpass anywhere in the world. XoXo PS You can live free on the land here if you want to go up in the bush in the mountains There's plenty of room and fresh water. And the grizzlies and mountain lions I'm sure would be happy to share it. XoXo
2 jobs couldn't get your foot into an apartment in Manhattan. You either stop working so that the state pays your rent with one of its many programs, or you shack up with other people or are lucky to have an apartment passed down to you with some rent stabilization. About to lose your apartment in NYC? Good luck because the shelters were full before and impossible to get actual help now, even if you're working 2 frekn jobs.
There is homelessness.
For people who think mental illness, drug usage is the reason homelessness exists, there are many people who are mentally ill or abuse drugs with a doorman, all sponsored by parent's ild money from better times years ago.
Variables exist.
Average rent in NYC, particularly if you're from Manhattan 3000, 4000 5000 upwards.
@@freezyourit i can attest to that. Someone’s aunt moved back home when renovations removed her single-room from rent control; her niece went from Brooklyn to NJ to back home. Another worked in MD Montgomery County the NE PA…. ‘Investors’ were making even marginal housing unaffordable even for healthcare workers, even with traveling stipends.
The bottom is gonna fall out soon.
@@freezyourit You couldn't pay me to live there! NO THANX! I can't even stand the traffic much less anything else.
Very interesting examples of the city's underground.
So many diverse tunnels: no wonder they have severe rodent problems.
Underground asbestos-lined pipes are not "health hazards to the public" You have to breath in the stuff for it to affect your health. So, unless you're taking a backhoe to Broadway and somehow don't get arrested before you hit the steam pipes, you're risk is 0%.
You had more than one sentence to express an idea/concept. You already lost half the readers there. The other half are leftists & don’t grasp it by default.
Precisely what I was thinking.
Funny comment! Thanks
Only true IF contained. IF the asbestos turns to powder, it can be water born, air born, contact born snd absorbed too. Only if contained is it harmless. And that's not the case.
They are when you have to do maintaining work on them , or even replace them, this is what video said , they don’t touch them unless they have to,
Just started the video but I’m going to guess the sewer system and the subway system for starters. 😜
That Mail pipes thing blew my mind.! No wonder futurama predicts traveling by tube in the future! 😂
The show White Collar ends with a heist using mail tunnels under NYC
People already travel in tubes. Subways are tubes.
There’s a underground world living in New York
reptilians
Theres a whole world underneath everyone’s feet. It is responsible for @ least 50% of high strangeness, missing411’s & other government executed hijinx we pay them to not tell us about.
Amirite?
Stick all the migrates there

Yep the Mole ppl
Love this , I’m a native New Yorker .
I'm sorry to hear that, my sincerest condolences.
You poor child😢
Thanks for being here :)
It's funny, but that statement dissolves the moment you have some of our pizza@@MadScientist267
What lies under New York? You don’t really want to know.
I definitely remember nyc at age 17 years 11 months years old on September 11th, 2001 and that tragic day.
Tunnels with crap all over it and baby chairs.
But we won’t talk about that.
Dem small hats
We don't talk about bruno.
I think this mail system would been better nowdays. No pollution transfer them between post offices. And less people write letters now so less capacity is needed.
You forgot about all the junk mail!
We used pneumatic tubes at the bank in the late 90s and early 2000s in South Africa to send deposit slips and receive cash if it was finished in the front cashbox (South Africa)
A lot banks in America still have them today
Pneumatic mail is still in use, although usually at a smaller scale. Some malls have them to transfer money to and from the vault room. And the electronic company I worked at used one to transfer documents and parts between two facilities, which were maybe 100m apart
Hey, fellow dude from upstate upstate ny, close to the Adirondacks, that town is pronounced “Oss-in-ing” when you said it the way you did I laughed so hard😂 great video either way
Yes I heated that too, and this is how we know that narration here is done by AI,
6:00 Businesses like Home Depot still use pneumatic mail systems, to transfer paperwork and even cash, within the building, for security and deposits.
I've been all underneath New York some wild shit down there some of the mail tunnels are some of the most untouched and coolest spots underneath
10:16 I'm certain this must exist in the US .. In Canada farmers who own land on two sides of a busy paver roadway, an have "culverts" built under the road to allow cows to travel to grazing land at their own free will :)
Some are built simply to avoid traffic congestion as farms can (according to old laws in place) basically herd cattle where they want on public land, with impunity. Others under passes, are built as "waterways", and cows just allowed to use them :)
Why did the cow cross the road? Because she had a culvert!
I went on one of Bob Diamond’s Tunnel Tours (13:40). So much fun!
Also, pneumatic tubes were still being used in Saks Fifth Avenue in ty1970’s when I worked there… I really enjoyed using them…
8:04 What's all that paper on the floor? Is that someone's mail?
Letters to Santa😢
Who's here after the underground synagogue was discovered? 😂
I might have been initially a month ago?
Me...
New city under New York...where evil things are done...blessings
Me. NYC is so old it's crumbling into the earth daily. Just a matter of time before it all crashes....
Wow cool! Never knew it was there
Really? The oldest railway tunnel in the world is not in New York. The Butterley Gangroad Tunnel in Derbyshire, England, dates to 1793 and was used initially by horse drawn rail cars, but later by steam trains. The first steam train to use it was in 1813. The tunnel was in use until 1932. The next oldest is the Peak Forest tramway tunnel also in Derbyshire, built in 1795. Just how much research did you do for this?
What were rhey uses for as from what i hear tell they went to asylums, and cemeteries
Built for purpose of railway. Easy ...
Most Americans appear to think America is the only country in the world.
Well tell Ridleys Believe it or Not! They have the NYC B'klyn site as the oldest.
When energy was pulled directly from the atmosphere or “aether”, there were airships dotting our skies night and day. There are still remnants of these 100+ year old flying behemoths are throughout established cities that weren't completely decimated in 1902 or the last structure-altering-cataclysm they lie to us about.
Btw “they” are the hierarchy enslaving you !
Mail tunnels was an epic idea but hit some huge snags that really dampered efficiency and eventually something much more cost effective and straightforward logical came along thus rendering it obsolete
"much more cost effective and straightforward logical came along"
I hope you're not referring to the US Postal Service that loses $$ 6 Billion Dollars a year !

Great video. Thanks for making it published. I knew about it a long time ago...congratulations .
Dark days is good documentary about freedom tunnel
Love the AI pronunciation of Ossining, NY. !!
Editors not available??
Seriously. This "guy's" voice was either artificial or one of the world's worst narrators. Or possibly an alien with no concept of human feelings
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Holland Tunnel... that's a feat by itself! All done by pure hand and dedication
The holland tunnel is under a river. Not nyc.
@johndelconte9915 pretty darn close and still a great subject to talk about.
@@888junkcarsbuyingteam8 i agree
@@johndelconte9915 good 20% of it is under the nyc, it begins at 6th ave
@@888junkcarsbuyingteam8 yes it is a good subject. I lived 15 miles from the city. I used to take the bus into NY To go to Chinatown when I was in grade school. Then for concerts when I was a little older, then sometimes just for a good cup of coffee or dinner when I was older. It was nice growing up close to “the city”.
All of those urban legends about Franklin Roosevelt and Track 61 are absolute nonsense. When Grand Central Terminal was being built between 1903 and 1913, numerous railroad related companies built their own buildings around it. Track 61 was laid down to service the Adams Express Company building. Adams Express was a forerunner of FedEx and UPS. It was originally founded in the 1830s to move packages between Boston and New York. Box cars full of packages would be loaded and unloaded on that siding and sent up to the building on a freight elevator. After Adams Express got out of the delivery business, the property was sold. The Adams building was demolished and replaced by the Waldorf Astoria in 1931. Once the hotel opened, track 61 simply became a storage track. There was no other use for it. In recent years, it was occupied by an old baggage car that was used as a tool car for track repair crews. One fantasist made the utterly ludicrous claim that the baggage car was "armored" and that the clerestory windows [skylights] were "machine gun ports".
The siding under the hotel existed LONG before Roosevelt was President. It can clearly be seen on the blueprints dating to the early construction of the Terminal. The construction of the platform, corridors and freight elevator make it impossible for any vehicle larger than a baggage cart to have used them. Anyone who knows anything about the history of Grand Central Terminal is well aware of these facts. That platform had absolutely NOTHING to do with President Roosevelt. Unfortunately, there are always some people who continue to repeat misinformation.
Thank you.. this was very interesting!
One of these days, all the tunnels under New York will collaps.
The Pneumatic Internet was interesting.
Now its children and underground tunnles poor children save the children
1793 Ft George, ship remains buried during expansion of shore line
Fascinating--but you omitted the tunnels under Queens College, built while it was the New York Parental School, to connect the original Spanish style buildings.
Thank you for this well done, fascinating video. Subscribed.
‘Ossining’ is pronounced ‘Awe - sinning’ not ‘Oh - sinning’….computer generated narration strikes again…
Dude, I once watched a video about bread making and for over 15 minutes the AI narrator pronounced “baked” as “bake-ed” and I kept thought he was saying bacon but there was no bacon anywhere in the video and I was losing my fuckin mind trying to figure out where the bacon was before figuring out it was just a robot voice fucking up the pronunciation. What a waste of my sanity.
Stop your blathering
Verry interesting to know this. Nice voice to listen to...

Pneumatic mail is just frickin cool af
I always imagined this would be a real thing if email had not of caught on. I mean you see these at banks, Walgreen's drive-thru and warehouses. There could easily be a way to dial an address and use automatic tube-switching will send the capsule to the dialed address.
Pneumatic delivery tubes aren't that odd. There are still banks in the US that use them for drive through service.
Yeah id imagine that ship was either intentionally OR ACCIDENTLY SUNK, HOW ELSE WOULD IT HAVE SUNK? IS THERE A 3RD OPTION 😂

43:59 Seneca Village: worst and best example of ‘eminent domain’.
The hospital I work at uses nematic tubes for medication and paperwork. With the longest tubes running several miles connecting the hospital to the clinic.
Nice video but there is one point I need to clear up: It's not that the rails of AmTrak are private property but that there is a federal law that prohibits trespass on any railroad property. There's another twist; while technically AmTrak is a corporation, it is wholly owned by the federal government. This leads to an interesting issue regarding its property since it is part of the USG making it a public service and a private company, like the US Post Office.
The elevated view seen @20:23 (oops @20:31) of the cityscape transitioning into night is a glorious view of Manhattan's roads and shows just how long and straight they are! I know historians will pooh-pooh the very idea but this is unmistakenly what the Romans were made famous for, and its the 'norm' for here. It's standard. Watling Street Lol!
Where ever the Phoenician’s docked their ships, we can see whats left of their antique-tech, or at least the few remnants that Smithsonian, as well as legacy families ,were not capable of brushing under a rug. I wish our species was not so afraid of others perceptions.

As a 60 year old born and bred New Yorker,I feel this project is most definitely needed. Penn Station needs a serious upgrade. New York was designed as a train and bus network as opposed to Los Angeles which was designed for automobile transport. I worked for the MTA 34 years and understand the true definition of mass transit. The Northeast corridor most definitely needs this project and more. We are the backbone of our great nation!
As a person native to LA it’s true. The whole west it’s true. We didn’t used to have the big cities and had/have lots of open space. This is why people opted for cars instead of subways cause it’s more spread out. West coast cities definitely have a different feel than older East Coast ones. I have yet to even ride a subway and definitely admire the public transportation of east coast big cities. It gives a city character and love the history of them. We do have BART and railway systems but not subways. It’s mainly buses and railways.
Giant Chabad Lubavitch tunnels that subsume entire buildings?
Very interesting video
Majestic.. 😂 opportunities.. 🤣 was this video recorded in the beginning of the 2000s?
The professional narrative is great - very interesting!
There are tons of these in the UK and EU. The UK has even an abandoned shopping centre and night club last operating in the 90s, today they can be accessed thru what looks like a ordinary manhole, but once in there are empty shops, and even some older facilities with the loo and toilets still intact where people literally go 'spend a penny' and attendants desk still there. Some accessed thru restricted basement and sub basements acting as storage and the rubbish skip, with adjacent buildings cemented off. Some are not so its like an underground alleyway. In France the catacombs are full of bones that act as structural support pillars, so engineers enter to check them regularly. Imagine one gives way while you sleep, get lucky and survive but a a skull with its orbital eye socket rolls onto your pillow staring your direrectly and coincidentally its Friday the 13th! Regular stuff like train tunnels, utilities, water and sewage, both operational and defunct military bases and bomb shelters with some converted for goverment document storage still there. Next time you see a manhole cover, you might be standing above one of these where stairs were once there. The subterranean scape changed a lot you may see cemented arches, if smashed thru you likely end up in some car park for example, but some buildings have underground alleyways allowing access to adjacent shops! Some tunnels are so huge there are literally hundreds of kilometres, get lost and die.
I don't see why the mayor can't let one off special tours or visits by TV crews occur in that underground train tunnel on special designated days, like London Underground do in the UK. I think the lost loco is just a pile of rust now.
With all that is going on it isnt a good idea for certain types to know how to access these tunnels. Dont you agree?
@@user-oq2wx4el2p Yep.
Wow to the extreme
I wonder if one were to fart into the mail chutes,a person at other end could sniff it😮
They sell tours for the City Hall subway station. It’s amazing to visit.
In 1899, Central Park in New York City spanned the area between 59th Street to the south and 110th Street to the north, consuming 51 blocks, or "city streets," in terms of vertical length. , it did not end on 106 street.
Fascinating!!! Many thanks!!!

Cool video; thanks for posting.
What an informative lovely voice, thank you.✨🌺
It’s pronounced AHH-Sin-Ing (Ossining) just for future reference! Love the video super detailed and interesting!! Thank you!!
Just wish this was time stamped for each layer it could be useful to help navigate if you want to come back for research reference into looking and finding more information.

Tube mail is a good method.
We were using pneumatic 'mailing' in our hospitals in 1970 in Phoenix.
Same in Illinois Hospital 1976
The first railway/plateway/tramway tunnel in the world was the Fritchley Tunnel, built in 1793.

Went into Aqueduct in Ossining😂 very kewl🎉
Uber interesting! thanks!
Hi I’m Joshua Perez.
Banks use these tubes all the time. These days, with the problems with the Post Office, these tubes could be a boon. Reduce costs, and expedite delivery of mail. Modern society should revisit this idea. Even if not for every address, but from post office to post office.
