Flooding tunnels is a constant problem in DC. There so many of them they number close to a thousand. Lots of them are from the Civil War, but most are relatively modern. The Metro subway has over 100 pumping stations just to keep the tracks clear. Metro tunnels under the Potomac leak like sieves and one estimate I saw said over ten thousand gallons of water are pumped out and back into Rock Creek, The Potomac and several other now-buried old tributaries. The Pentagon basement floods regularly because it was built over a river and on swamp-land.
Off topic but I worked at denver international Airport for a company. We had our own golf cart to drive through the tunnels under the airport. It was so vast and confusing it was easy to get lost. Its amazing what the underground can hold when you cant see it above ground and have no clue it even exists.
Have seen some conflicting comments on Richard Citizens Telegram (where I pulled this pic) in that regard from people that work in that occupation stating water main breaks are not dirty but mostly clear and they posted a couple pics as to what it should look like. Just putting it out there as I have no idea what one looks like.
It would depend on where the main broke. That much water is probably from a 4' main or larger. Pump that much water through the ground and you're gonna get dirty water. I've lived in DC for a long time and breaks like these happen and it's never clear water running down the street.
Thankfully, not downtown, but I could be at 1600 Penn Ave NW in 20 minutes if need be. I've lived here so long that the Swamp is just part of life. I'm on a 5 year countdown to GTFO.
This was 4 days ago? Miss Stacey Abrams had another accident and couldn't make it to the shitter?
I enjoy all bad-mouthing of her
Time to flood the tunnels. No escape.

Rather than fixing holes in the hull they just install more bilge pumps.
This happening now means we're getting close.

Brown water like that of shit in a sewer. Yep, must be them!
Yeah the sewer system overflows after heavy rain. The Potomac is full of literal shit.

If there's that much dirt coming out they're going to have a sinkhole in no time.
You live in DC Pede? Condolences.

Don't mind that Mr Gopher. No no, not plastic explosives or anything. Just a harmless little squirrel.
Are we supposed to watch this...?
