HN isn't exlusively for "tech news" but for anything that is of interest to nerds/intelligent people.

You can of course submit any tunneling articles/media you think are interesting.

Just look at the abundance of Atlas Obscura articles -- few are tech based.



While we are at it, I really recommend checking out all the base tunnel projects currently in progress or recently completed:

Massively cool cutting edge technology, even before Elon involvement. ;-)

There is also a huge amount of interesting videos on Youtube about these projects, all the way from the initial tunnel boring/blasting all the way to final outfitting (imagine installing rails & electric equipment in a 57 km long tunnel - no wonder it took 6 years of multi shift daily work, etc.).


All very impressive. But most impressive to me is this:

>>A 2002 report by Michitsugu Ikuma described, for the undersea section, that "the tunnel structure appears to remain in a good condition." The amount of inflow has been decreasing with time, although it "increases right after a large earthquake".
