In a fascinating turn of events, a woman known as 'tunnel girl' has provided an update on her viral underground tunnel project after facing permit issues. Kala, also known as Engineer Everything on TikTok (@engineer.everything), embarked on an ambitious excavation project in Virginia, creating an underground tunnel system that leads to a storm shelter at her home. This project, which has garnered significant attention, is estimated to have cost her approximately $50,000 as of November 2023.
While Kala lacks formal qualifications in engineering, she has diligently documented the entire process of constructing her underground tunnel system. However, her endeavor hit a roadblock in December when the City Council issued a stop work order, requiring immediate evaluation by a professional engineer.
