Chunnel Plans Announced - February 20, 1986

     Plans were being made to build an underwater tunnel from France to Britain. Napoleon originally came up with a blueprint for a tunnel in 1802. Cars, busses and trains would be able to speed through this 'Chunnel' at less than a half an hour, which was now in the making. The Chunnel was completed in 1994.
