Creative meth makers set up underground in Buffalo NY suburbs, http://live.buffalonews.com/2016/08/09/see-inside-the-subterranean-entrance-to-the-amherst-meth-lab/
It had to be one of the oddest crime scenes in recent memory: a subterranean drug lab, 12 feet underneath a Walmart parking lot at Sheridan Drive and Bailey Avenue in Amherst, that was being used to cook methamphetamine.
As cars whizzed by on Sheridan, one of the busiest thoroughfares in the region, and shoppers pulled in and out of the sprawling lot to stock up on groceries and other necessities of daily life, police say someone had set up a rather elaborate meth lab.
The photos show the sewer entrance with stagnant water at the end of a concrete tunnel, perhaps 10 feet wide, 4 feet high. Another shot inside shows the ceiling about 6 feet (1.8m) high. Pallets were dragged into the sewer to keep the "lab" above the small amount of water on the floor. With record-setting drought in the Buffalo area, there hasn't been any chance of a storm surge.

What did we expect when illegal chemistry is more profitable than legal chemistry?

Hopefully they had an eyewash station and proper ventilation hoods so that Mr. White won't need to give them a lecture.

You sure about that? I'd think that a pharma corporation is a more profitable venture than a meth lab, or even a drug cartel. More legal, too (more ethical, not so much).
Of course, illegal chemistry scales down much easier, so it's more profitable for an individual :)

Hardly. While a meth lab can make you some good money, it is a pittance compared to what the big pharma companies are making. Millions vs hundreds of billions.
