    WW1 German tunnel discovered in France.

    They are saying this is the biggest WW1 discovery since the 70s.

    A tunnel that contained 270 Germans was struck and its entrance sealed off.

    Over the next week, the men inside slowly suffocated, died of dehydration, or killed themselves.

    Neither France nor Germany seems to want much to do with tunnel excavation.

    Rummaging through a lot of old bones is not something I'd want to do. What a horrible way to die...

    Apparently there are "scavengers" who steal bones from these places.

    I would think they'd hire some kind of security to keep watch...
