A Modern-Day Tourist Attraction
Alcatraz Penitentiary isn’t as terrifying as it used to, and it’s even a tourist attraction today. You’d see many people take a boat to the island for some cool photos. Timothy de Smet and his team from Binghamton University had no tourism aspirations, for what caught their attention is the potential discoveries surrounding the island.
They reportedly used lasers to examine whatever was beneath the surface. This method will allow them to check out anything underground without damaging the island and disturbing the tourists. Causing any destruction on the island would make them end up with a hefty fine.
