Shed a tear for Hitachi. They warrantied the TBM for 1,200 feet of tunneling, and it broke down at 1,000 feet. Oops. There goes someone’s Christmas bonus.
You are very right that they are lucky it broke down where it did, I’m in a small way involved with the rescue operation, and had a sneak peek at the blueprints.
