A man who fell into Omaha’s sewer system was swept on a nightmarish journey beneath downtown city streets for 1½ miles over 1½ hours Friday before somehow extricating himself from the rushing water just before it dumped into the Missouri River.Apparently two workers were swept off their feet by a wall of water that roared through the pipe in which they were working, but one was wearing a safety harness and didn't wind up...er, up shit creek, as it were, like his coworker.
