You wouldn't get me inside that tunnel for any amount of money - and that was before it was an earthquake zone !!! |

I should imagine the structure of the tunnel would be easily able to withstand such a relatively minor earthquake.
I'm flying off to Finland tomorrow for the Eurovision, and I absolutely hate flying. Getting very edgy about it already.
I'd rather be heading off down that tunnel any day. |

I can elaborate on this theory after reading the Mail this morning.
Page 18.
Look at the diagram of the fault-line out of Folkestone.
And then track where the tunnel travels.
The tunnel follows it.
Uh oh! |

I think you've got me wrong here Mart; I'm not saying the Tunnel caused the quake; I'm worried that the quake may have caused cracks and damage which, in days, weeks or months, may lead to a collapse, flooding and multiple deaths - and I could be IN the tunnel when it does!!!
And I'm astonished this aspect seems to have been missed in the coverage. |

I am more and more convinced that the Eurotunnel is to blame as I think about it.
All I initially thought about was the tunnel through the rock etc, but when I think about the sheer weight that goes on that train daily,through the tunnel, I feel it must be sending vibrations to surrounding regions.
We shall see. |
