For December 15, 2007. Twenty years ago on this day, digging began on the tunnel beneath the English Channel. I describe a little about the Channel Tunnel (also known as Eurotunnel or the Chunnel), a concept drawing of which is seen here. I also talk about why I find large engineering and construction projects like the Chunnel so fascinating.
