Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
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...
Just the most boring urban explorers out there.
They probably just climbed into the manholes to make videos how they climb out a minute later.

YSK: manholes are dangerous. Never mind the nastiness and falling hazard. Many are cast-iron and because of the rust, the interior can be a low-oxygen environment. And that's not the only way the air can be too fouled to breathe safely.
If you've ever seen professinals entering manholes, they'll be using a ventilation system to ensure fresh air and safety.
EDIT: this isn't just about breathing, sewer gasses can be fire/explosion hazards too.
Its not so much iron as it is all the organic matter that gets run into most drainage systems that decays and consumes oxygen while doing so.
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.
They're in Brooklyn, wearing strange suits?

But where's Bud?
This is the kind of weird news I need to hear.
must be those Antifa Sewer Soldiers
The NYPD, to make sure there was not a threat to the public, sent their highly trained Emergency Services Unit officers into the sewer system
Taking the piss, surely. Good thing the actual experts went in.
the city Environmental Protection Department, which manages the system, also went in
Dumb fucks. Lucky the methane didn't kill them.
You know the guys in your circle that fart a lot? They send those guys down. They've built up a tolerance to methane.
