I'm really curious then.

Why's the visible person holding the headphones tighter against his ear? What kind of sounds need to be processed by a human for sewer inspection?

To their benefit, if it was sus, they would have kept the door shut.




Generally these are done in coordination with a sewer cleaning truck at the next manhole in the pipe. Very common for them to stay on the phone with each other


That makes sense that they would use higher quality headphones on a radio to collaborate. Thanks for the insight!

hangs up phone


Holding the headphones tighter is never suspicious
