The channel tunnel
A French engineer Aime Theome Gamond brought a plan to England, which was building a 21 miles tunnel through the English Channel. He said that we could build a platform which served as a train station or a port in the center of the tunnel. If we built some large, tall chimneys which extend out of the sea, then the tunnel would be well ventilated condition. In 1860, a English man William low, put forward a better plan which was building a double tunnel. This would solve the problem of ventilation. Because if a train came into the tunnel. It would bring the fresh air into. After 42 years, the tunnel was being begun to build. If the British had not been afraid of aggression, the tunnel would have been completed. The world had to wait almost 100 years to see the channel tunnel. It was opened officially on March .7th 1994, connecting England and European continent.
