How can you get from England to France in just 20 minutes? Travel in the Channel Tunnel. This railway
tunnel runs underneath the English Channel, the body of water that separates England and France, and
carries high-speed passenger trains as well as freight trains. To address public fears about the safety of
traveling in such a large, lengthy tunnel, engineers designed the tunnel to actually consist of three tunnels:

everyone was able to escape through the service tunnel
