The Mobile Bay tunnel is short and well lit. The tunnels at Hampton Roads are another matter. For years I hava always thought that the terrorist would blow them up when I was in there, or that the car would stall.
Hampton Tunnel, going to Newport News from VA Beach/Norfolk.
Army tank truck (carrying water, fuel, don't know) in a convoy next me that I'm passing has a brake lock up, tire and brake drum, axle, and rear of trailer trailer begin burning. Whole tunnel filled quickly with smoke fumes.
No explosion fortunately.
During Isabel, the tunnel between Norfolk and Portsmouth didn't get its doors closed in time because they hadn't been tested and flooded. Hampton Roads tunnel doors jammed during testing before the hurrican arrived, but no flooding.
Guess which tunnel manager lost his job.
