On the night of November 3, 1793, a man named Philibert Aspairt walked into the tunnels beneath Paris and never came back out. His body was found eleven years later — and here's the detail that makes this story unforgettable: he died just twenty meters from an exit. He was right there. He almost made it. But in total darkness, "almost" means nothing.
