How Did They Build The Underwater Tunnel From England To France? | Super Structures | Progress

...and narrated by... LUKE SKYWALKER!!!

Big cheer for Science !

Definitely a super structure deserving of Luke Skywalker to narrate. 😊

The answer how- they got slave labor, because that's only how things have every been built. Now pay them REPARATIONS!

Unbilievable what a man can achieve!

Digging at both ends to meet in the middle was stupid. They had to just throw away one of the TBMs. They were digging THREE tunnels! What a waste. Children are starving in India! Seriously, I don't get it, unless... they wanted to HAVE that big meeting in the middle to get the people amped up with all the partying. It makes a lot of political sense.

I just keep thinking about all the deaths in the future.

The tunnel no more connects England to the mainland than does the bedrock they dug through. All lands are connected UNDER the water.

England is still an island.

H0w does The Channel Boring project relate to Elon Musk's The Boring Co?

Amazing, my fear is now EV fires. The trains should have a new plan. Absolutely no stopping until they get out. There is too much at risk.

7600 hp - the equivalent of about 100 average cars

Now I will invade from France muhahhaahaahhahahh!!!!!

and soon two decades later in 2020 brexit happened. It added to the complexities of cross border trade and travel.

I remember travelling in it soon after it was done. I was a kid and didn't know how crazy it really was, but it was still definitely special.

England has border guards/inspectors on the French side because illegals try and sneak in daily, by the dozens. They are found, and then live nearby in "the jungle" in France.

What if a terrorist blew up inside it? Are they concerned?

Now many people just board the trains without knowing the sacrifice of the people who built them. Kudos to them who built them and rip to those who lost their lives because of it.

Amen & Amen: When I first heard of this technological feat some time ago in a news flash, I saw it as a miracle but today I know this scientific masterpiece is truly the handwork of God🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️

Wow what a beautiful and superb man made tunnel. Congrats to the two countries who combined their knowledge and effort. Mabuhay!!!!

0.09% of fatality rate for such an enormous and dangerous project is impressive.

There should be one such Railway Tunnel between England and Ireland to bring them closer.

Really fulljoyed watching such great historic moments to the end.... God is good everlasting for giving mankind the knowledge to achieved such an acomplisment.

before they dug the tunnel, they had to design the machine to dig the tunnel..

This has been probably the best cross-Channel achievement in history (though the Concorde wasn't bad). Keep a sharp eye on those nay-sayers, jingoists and nasty nationalistic politicians on any side who would never have wanted such projects to get going in the first place.

Pitiful! Who wrote this terrible corn melodramatic script? This is awful! It caused us to stop viewing. Next time get an adult to help and best of luck!

Useless

So it's possible to create a tunnel from China to Taiwan?

LMFAO! Hitler was going to dig a tunnel from France to England?!! I thought this was a serious documentary.

China builds these tunnels in weeks😂😂😂😂😂😂

I have a picture of the tunneling machine. It was in Dover. BIG red sign. FOR SALE: ONE OWNER😅😅🤣😂True Storey.
Peace-out 🌍💕

Iam falling in LOVE❤ with AUSTRALIAN CHICKS/WOMEN

yha bhoot tunal ki jrurat hai jo ki khaas hai bihar to rusiya to big project khaas bihar pepls ke liye

Marvelous Engineering! May God Bless humanity with more awesome undertakings 🙏

It's nice how they minimize the mention of the location of the designers who built the machines that built a tunnel under the channel.

Not really progress, probably the stupidest thing ever done. The we open the world the worse it gets, it was better when we were all segregated.

Plot twist

They found the tunnels already built

Instead of the british digging down at the end to bury the machine they should have turned left or right of the french half of the tunnel that way they could have continued using that machine to start the 2nd tunnel from the halfway point then when the french broke thru to the british half of the tunnel they could also turn so that they start the 2nd tunnel on the british side parallel with each other then connect in the middle then when they both come out each end they can go back in and start the 3rd and finsh and bury both at the end but it would allow them to reuse them machines the whole time.without wasting money on new ones

same question: how did a russian porn star became 🇺🇲 first lady??

I'm so glad I came to this channel..
Amazing achievements , glory to God ❤️

Super construction by European engineers. Super. How beautiful it is. In 1991. Very nice

This is a human wonder

What a way to get together

Thanks for the share

With WWIII looming large, I fear that the Eurotunnel could become a target for Russian nukes over the next decade or so. It is 1940s all over again.
