Very little footage as yet. We do have two posters in and about that area. It is a confirmed earthquake now though and it`s Folkestone. A lot of chimneys down, put power has now been restored. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Bit of a false alarm, eh, Mart? Personally I put it down to a build-up of gas from all those hops, or John Prescott farting after having his breakfast ! Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Big worry - what effect could this have on the Eurotunnel? Small cracks become big cracks and one day in a couple of weeks... WHOOSH! Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Re:Earthquake in Canterbury ? 17 Years ago

The Eurotunnel was my first theory of the cause when the news came over, it`s a very big chunk of earth and rock missing by the "quake".

It doesnt bare thinking about what awful things could happen to it either if it gets damaged.
I`ve only travelled on the Eurotunnel thing twice, what struck me as extremely odd, was that I had a full mobile phone signal.

Interesting - it took almost 12 hours before Ch4 news were the first to mention the Eurotunnel; who's running the other news services and how much training does it take to spot such an obvious point of interest?

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.

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 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.

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. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

You wouldn't get me inside that tunnel for any amount of money - and that was before it was an earthquake zone !!! Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
