From Fox News: The green light has been granted to a woman who went viral for digging a massive tunnel under her home.
“Kala,” the supposed name of the homeowner and creator of the TikTok account @engineer.everything, garnered 7.7 million views as she documented herself digging a bunker under her home in Herndon, Virginia.
Known on social media as “Tunnel Girl,” Kala posted a video on Monday announcing that her plans had been approved after paying a $2,000 fee. Her project had been halted in 2024 due to potential building violations.
“I paid the fee, and my tunnel plans are approved. Finally, floor plans, structural plans, construction specifications, load engineering, electrical plans, other trade plans, all approved,” she announced in the TikTok video.
