Ya you'd want to make sure you don't get in a collision though....say one malfunctions and stops, and another hits it at 6500 kmh? uhhh...

I'd believe when they first started planning trains or airplanes, people had comments like these.

I don't understand how is it cheaper. Won't it cost A LOT to make a tunnel system from one part of the world all the way to the other side??

they cant build it above water... the storms would tear that shit apart..

building underwater, lol think about it... sharks, whales, leaking...

well if u been to a costco before, they insert cash to the tubes in their piping system, so it's a pretty neat concept for human transport to a specific location

don't forget about continental drift. it maybe only an inch or 2 a year, but i assume after the tube is built it'll be in use for a for a long while.

They talked about this idea several years ago on a discovery channel program "extreme engineering" I think the entire thing is on YouTube.
Good watch if u got the time
