Super Structures: 4/5 - Eurotunnel(Channel Tunnel). Discovery Channel

Wiki
The Channel Tunnel (French: Le tunnel sous la Manche), known colloquially as the Chunnel, is a 50.5-kilometre (31.4 mi) undersea rail tunnel linking Folkestone, Kent near Dover in the United Kingdom with Coquelles, Pas-de-Calais near Calais in northern France beneath the English Channel at the Strait of Dover. At its lowest point it is 75 m (246 ft) deep.[1][2][3] At 37.9 km (23.5 mi), the Channel Tunnel has the longest undersea portion of any tunnel in the world although the Seikan Tunnel in Japan is both longer overall, at 53.85 km (33.46 mi) and deeper, at 240 m (790 ft) below sea level.

I'd love to see them dig up that machine in 100 years.

At 6:23 the drivers are taught to "navigate" the tunnel ... I wonder how many trains managed to get lost.
