The Channel Tunnel, also called the Euro Tunnel or Chunnel, is a 32-mile rail tunnel beneath the English Channel. It took just three years for tunnel boring machines from France and England to chew through the chalky earth and meet hundreds of feet below the surface of the English Channel. Today, trains roar through the tunnel at speeds up to 100 miles per hour and it's possible to get from one end to the other in only 20 minutes. |
