    The time travellers have started arriving to witness the Great Collapse.

    Due to the nature of time travel, portals through time can only be opened in an unobserved place. Sewers are just the places most likely be go unobserved, they don’t even bother putting security cameras down there most of the time…

    They probably just climbed into the manholes to make videos how they climb out a minute later.

    A witness snitch* reported seeing eight people remove a maintenance hole cover near McDonald Avenue and Colin Place in the Gravesend neighborhood of Brooklyn.

    Speaking to NBC New York, witness snitch* Aki Jakupovic said: “Three random guys walking around in a strange suit, open the sewer, go in like Ninja Turtles.” Surveillance footage obtained by NBC New York showed the men carrying flashlights and wearing hip waders. “I was looking at them, they were looking at me, you know, I could tell they were up to no good. They went in there, closed the cover, like, you know, they were never here,” he added.

    I get the feeling this has been going on forever, they just didn’t have cameras everywhere to catch it.

    Perhaps they’re simply disgraced paranormal investigators following up on reports about pink slime that comes out of the pipes?
