@CameronOAustin: For city folk like me: a septic tank is 4-5 feet underground here. One of the neighbors showed me his. Hard to get to http://t.co/ROlmZMTaDy

@CameronOAustin: Mr. H******** said he's lived at his house almost 30 years and from what he's seen, everyone's tank is underground like his. #NoahThomas

Hopefully this works..http://www.septicsolutions.com/SepticTankRisers/images/RisersOnTank.jpg

Those two green things would stick up to be able to access from above ground for pumping purposes.


ETA: I'm not from VA but just wanted to show how you'd access a sewage

That really confuses me if that is true.

Not all septics are built like that, though. There are all kinds of systems actually.

I just feel sick at reading this. I live about 2 hours from Dublin and have been following since his disappearance was announced locally. How do these kids get in to our hearts like this?

 

[bellesnwhistles]

I'm so confused.. Wouldn't someone have seen them digging? And wouldn't le have been able to see it was freshly dug up...

 

[SeriouslySearching]

No. I had to ask DH, a property manager and construction guy. He said there is no way a child got in it alone.

Since we don't know how old the septic system is or the make...it cannot be determined it was impossible for a child to access alone. There have been past cases with children where they did manage to gain access and fall in all on their own. I remember one with a cracked or faulty lid. Another with no lid because it had not been replaced when damaged.

We will hear more at LE's presser in a couple of hours. They should give us an indication of which way they are heading with this case.

RIP preccious Noah!
This is so heart breaking!

 

[iamnotagolem]

I doubt they dug anything up, there is commonly a manhole in the top of the sewage tank, most likely that is how they put Noah in.

The reporter is stating the cover/lid on the other systems in this area is accessible only after digging several feet. :-/

LN appears to be a kids coach per her FB. Can't decide if she would be the type to post crazy speculation on a public news FB. Following.

 

[SStarr33]

Just saw the news. So sad

 

[Dogface]

Oh I had peeked into this thread before but I have a hard time with the cases with kids, it hurts my heart too much. Beautiful, precious child, gone too soon.

 

[~Lyric~]

Rest In Peace Noah~


Like others here, I will refrain from speculation until we hear from LE.

It's real easy to jump to conclusions or jump on the rumor mill band wagon.

This is heartbreaking enough~

A Heavy Tactical Rescue truck from @RoanokeFireEMS is at #NoahThomas home in Pulaski Co. Told truck is "certified to enter" confined spaces.

I'm confused with the septic tanks, never had any experience with them, no nothing of them.
How easy are the lids to remove? Are you supposed to do this yourself or do you hire a company to do it?
How deep are they usually?

Do you live near me? I'm in Tazwell County.
