Wait just a damn minute here. HOW are they going to make a tunnel like that in... Seattle of all places? Seattle is sitting on a faulted mess of bedrock worse than L.A. I have no doubt that the engineers can work with it, but fuck being in that tunnel when a 6.0 hits. Edit just read the wiki articles. 2001 was the earthquake. That was two years after I worked on a fishing boat that docked there. Looks like they are going to make the waterfront a destination like they did out here to the Ohio River, which will be nice once it is done. But tunnels in active fault zones freak me out.
