I come from the year 2152. No bridge was built. We went to mars
-
Couldn't the airtight tunnel go over the land in Greenland and Iceland as well? It would have to, to keep up that speed. Why would they have to worry about the wind in an airtight tunnel?
-
God, how awesome would that be. I could have a late lunch, then I could do a bit of shopping in Oxford Street, pick up my auntie's favourite chocolate and be in New York in time for dinner.
If only I was born a century or two in the future.

Everything what is in our imagination will be done some day. The only thing we can't do it is when we can't imagine it. There is only question when? Todays technology is like a caveman technolody trying built the airplane. But there is one thing wich speed up everything thousands of times pretty soon - called "NANOTECHNOLOGY" - sample? "GRAFEN" - speeding up our PC from 3 Ghz over 400 Ghz, or changing the colors without painting or clothes never get wet on the rain...and it's very very beginning
-
never gonna happen

It's 2099 88 years after today.

This isn't possible just like it wasn't possible to go to the moon in 69 with a giant bottle rocket, air tight box, and a gameboy.
-
But I thought Greenland was melting due to climate change? Surely weather conditions by 2099 will be warm enough to allow the overland route.
-
I don't think they could ever use the rectangular building methods for the sections for an application that deep. You'd need to at least encase the whole thing in a pipe shaped sleeve due to the inherent strength advantage you get from the circular profile.
This is, not coincidentally why you almost never find square windows in airplanes and many ships...or really anything that has to operate outside of normal atmospheric pressure that also needs windows.
