The main thing it does is cut down on all the international traffic that was tying up all the roads in Switzerland.
That “ceremony” was worse than I could have ever imagined.
Europe is much further gone than I realized.
I wonder how close to this we are also. I’m guessing our nation is not quite there. Yet. But if Hillary wins...
Thanks for posting.
God save us.
Sick bastards.
I predict a great tragedy will occur in this tunnel with great loss of life
Do not mock GOD
Yes, it was so bad, I don’t think most people would believe it unless they saw the pictures.
Evil!
Maybe it’s me but why is a “show” needed for a tunnel opening?
.
What I wanna know, is how do these jokers do this kindof crap and maintain a straight face? 'Course, they may say the same of some of the Superbowl Halftime Shows I've seen over the years.
I think it’s just an artist compensating for his very mediocre talent by attempting to shock; and hanging it all on some local folklore for a few shreds of legitimacy.

Didn’t CERN also have one of those weird ceremonies?
I guess it’s just people trying to show how “intelligent
& creative” they are - or worse - perhaps there’s evil
behind all this “entertainment” garbage today.
Is it just me or are they repeating things twice? Is it just me or are they repeating things twice?
There already has been while they were building it.
Merely getting air into it is a monumental engineering feet.
This is a really good video on building it:

A mishap occurred during construction and quite a few people died. It’s in the video.
They have emergency tunnels paralleling it or it would have been far worse.
It seems that just a generation ago, the Swiss, be they Roman Catholic or Calvinist, had a reputation for being devout Christians.
Whatever happened to things like “cutting the ribbon” ?
I don’t know what to think about this. Is this charge true?
Can’t they just bring out the mayor’s wife to smash a bottle of champagne and say “May God bless this tunnel, and all who travel through her...”
and be done with it?
