—hopefully better handled than the one in BART (San Francisco) nearly thirty years ago where a loaded train (of passengers) was sent into the fire area—while nothing happened, that had the potential of being one of the more serious train disasters ever-—

Fortunately, the Chunnel seems to have been extremely robustly engineered for safety. There’s a very good chance they no one will be injured.

Keep your fingers crossed.

This would be the second major fire in the Chunnel. The first was in 1996.

The French government said the blaze started when a truck carrying chemicals caught fire on the train travelling from Folkestone, Kent, to Calais.

I am surprised that hazardous cargo is allowed.

If God had meant man to tunnel underground he would have given him claws like badgers have.

It gives you the sense that you are buried alive as it is, I can't imagine what it would be like to have a fire as well.
