Drug Smuggling Ingenuity Of The Day

  Suspected smugglers tried to drive their SUV over a 14-foot-tall fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, but they had to abandon the effort when the Jeep got stuck trying to cross over the fence near Yuma, Arizona.  

The suspected runners had built a ramp to drive up and over the fence, but the Jeep became ‘high centered’ and the driver wasn’t able to maneuver it over the crag of the barrier.
Got to give them at least an A for effort.

Krubera Cave, deepest known cave on Earth

The deepest known cave on Earth is currently the Krubera Cave, (sometimes known as the Voronya Cave.) The cave is located in the Arabika Massif of the Gagrinsky Range in the country of Georgia. Kubera cave acquired the title of ‘deepest cave’ in 2001 when Ukrainian explorers were able to reach a depth of 1710 meters. The main branch reaches a depth of roughly 2191 meters

 Throughout the past 10 years, the exploration of Krubera Cave has increased greatly. In 2004 the “Call of the Abyss” project pushed to the ‘Game Over’ point at 2080 meters below the surface. This was the first time humans had reached a point below the 2000 meter line. The depth of the cave was then extended further past the Kvitochka point discovering a new branch in July 2005. This branch was further explored until 2007 when a dive down ‘Blue Lake’ measured it at 2191 meters.
