How the world's longest underwater tunnel was built - Alex Gendler
Discover how the English Channel Tunnel was built and the engineering challenges of building a 200 kilometer long tunnel underwater.
--
Flanked by two powerful nations, the English Channel has long been one of the world’s most important maritime passages. Yet for most of its history, crossing was a dangerous prospect. Engineers proposed numerous plans for spanning the gap, including a design for an underwater passage more than twice the length of any existing tunnel. Alex Gendler details the creation of the Channel Tunnel.
