Still waiting on this one. You need to think outside the box and under the sea when you think tunnels.
Crossing the Bering Strait in between Russia and Alaska would require about 200km (125 miles) of undersea tunnel, the paper said, citing Wang Mengshu, a railway expert at the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
-
They should rebore the current tunnels and use the old one's for bikes... Imagine morden to high barnet with just other cyclists... Oh wait... Hmmm, maybe not.
Although I still like the idea of circle line laps.
-
there's a ride for that, and it involves more beer.

I think you underestimate how much beer I drink while doing laps.

Hmm. A tunnel across a tectonic plate boundary (Eurasian to North American plates). Good luck!
-
Ah, the plate boundary is actually quite inland to Russia. One map I looked at had it going up through the Bering Straits. Nevermind.
A couple of rolled steel joists should hold them still. After all what sort of forces are involved in continental drift that an rsj can't handle?
I was thinking more of the sudden huge movements that we feel as earthquakes.

Make them 531 and all is awesome.

“Perhaps that was a bit strong [to compare them to Isis] but I can’t think of a single other movement in the world at the moment that behaves in such a vitriolic and aggressive manner.”

That tunnel thing is one of those that comes up with regularity every few years, in the same way as the 'skyway' thing (although the latter more frequently). As others have said, it is entirely impractical and can safely be ignored.
