    Probably not as it was a advertising stunt in Milan.

    I have to admit that was a pretty neat stunt. Would love to have been there !

    The lad must have been navigating through the sewers to reach that point.

    I would guess he got promoted, since nobody else could manage this stunt.

    Cac, while I back off to a safe distance, you may want to consider using the "edit" feature... ;)

    Hehe...was just reminded of a French sub a few years back...was "covertly" tailing a freighter...until it turned suddenly (the freighter captain was on to him) and the commander rammed right up his clacker! Yes...the commander was sacked within days.

    Well if a skipper could actually use that sub and use it as a Trojan to invade a city, he'd actually be promoted.

    Do not forget the Soviet sub that actually collided with a Nimitz class carrier in the Caribbean during the cold war. Less one think the skipper was crazy "the carrier's impenetrable 200 mile radius screen" was totally unaware of the sub !!!!!

    I feel eternally lucky to have studied and taught in Italy for a considerable time. Advertising is truly an art form there as is life itself. TOS, I just sent some friends to stay in your neighborhood for a week. They thought they had died and gone to heaven.
