glass tunnels allowing those in vehicles to look at what's under the sea duing their journey by road or rail

I, too would rather take the raik, to avoid accidents caused by drivers goggling at the scenery. |

Are fish that interested in rest areas? |

How will you deal with air pressure, air exchange, condensation, land-slides, earthquakes, auto accidents, and mussle build-ups? |

I wonder why they didn't make the channel tunnel out of glass? |

It's pretty dark and murky at the bottom of most oceans, what with all the constant rain of dead creatures floating down from higher up - in all but the most tropical of oceans. It wouldn't be long before the glass is coated with a murky layer consisting of fishbones, algae, the corpses of ex-plankton, old boots, pirate treasure - all the usual stuff - what would be needed is some kind of wiping device so that the view of the pitch-black depths could remain unobscured. |

But perhaps it would be nice to create an underwater network of interconnecting tubes to link up lands in a tropical archipelago - an area like the Caribbean would benefit massively* from land-connections between islands, and maybe even to the mainland. |
