I've been wondering what kind of a machine it will take to to drill past/through Bertha.

I have the answer.

WS,DOT I will respond to pm's.

I demand $250,000.00 non refundable cash deposit, towards a $10,000,000.09 total project cost, plus additional costs. I will not accept a general bond debenture. If you can not accept my terms do not expect me to accommodate you, and your brethren's bills towards such a stupid and foolhardily scheme.
