Discover how the English Channel Tunnel was built and the engineering challenges of building a 200 kilometer long tunnel underwater.
--
Flanked by two powerful nations, the English Channel has long been one of the world’s most important maritime passages. Yet for most of its history, crossing was a dangerous prospect. Engineers proposed numerous plans for spanning the gap, including a design for an underwater passage more than twice the length of any existing tunnel. Alex Gendler details the creation of the Channel Tunnel.

Pretty decent presentation of the story. One bit you left out is that toward the end of their journey the UK TBMs were driven down into the ground, clear of the tunnel and the French TBMs finished. So, the TBMs didn't meet in the middle like depicted here. Also, the political bit at the end was quite unnecessary.

Agreed. This is about how the tunnel was built, not the creator of the video having a hard-on for so-called refugees. They’re not trying to cross the channel to get to safety - they’re in France, they’re already safe - but because they want the easy benefits and free healthcare of the UK. It’s greed not fear that drives them.

Could you do a video on Why Yoh Should Read The House of Bernarda Alba by Federico García Lorca. Would love for you to look at the historic inspirations, the fact that this was Federico's last play before he was killed before this was performed, and how it looks at toxic femininity and aggression within a family relationship.

Ted-Ed seems to be endorsing uncontrolled immigration across the uk border. Dont quite know what it has to do with America but yes let's all get along nicely. Nevermind that any genuine refugees have to pass through all of Europe, and countless safe havens, before they reach England. The people trying to cross are not refugees they are economic migrants. And those borders that apparently need to be broken are the only thing stopping an extremely generous and abusable uk benefits and support system from being completely decimated. Wonder what Americans would think if the British started telling them to erase the Mexican border because 'we're all in it together' and 'yay humanity!'

@@BeaverChainsaw I don't understand why you don't just send them back to their countries. Take in thousands of unsurveyed people from developing nations and crime rate, unemployment, and general social unrest will rise. The developing nations lose as well as they're losing workers, it's a lose lose.
