Also it is said that the new TBMs vitrify the dirt, thus making a smooth wall around the tunnel.

i wonder how my stomach would feel after that trip

Probably fine because the g-forces aren't severe due to gradual acceleration and 360 degree swiveling chairs.

cant even get a picture of it??? there must not be any women involved in the project... cuz like they say... . telegraph,, telephone.. television...
tellawoman.. (grin)
Thousands and thousands of workers? Where did you come up with that number?
What is the minimum crew for a TBM? For the entire operation? I bet it could be down with less than 100 since we are just pulling #'s out of the
air.

I'm calling B.S. for the same reason another poster made in regards to 14,000 mph being the equivalent of Mach 18.7.
For comparison, here are the current speed records:
Land Speed Record - 768 mph (rocket-assisted)
Rail Speed Record - 581 mph (using Maglev technology)
Air Speed Record - 2,194 mph (manned - Military record)
Air Speed Record - 7,546 mph (unmanned - Military record)
Granted, there were unmanned rocket sled on rails tests performed by the Military that could achieve up to Mach 8.5. However, these were in closed,
controlled environments and could never sustain those speeds for long periods of time.
The basic fact of the matter comes down to G-Force being the distinguishing difference between unmanned and manned speeds. The human lung cannot
function and breathe in air if experiencing greater than a couple of G's. The rest of the human body itself cannot sustain forces much greater than
that (run a hamster through a high speed centrifuge if you want an example of what happens...just don't let PETA know).
If the Underground Bullet Train theory had stated speeds of 500-700mph then it might be plausible and remotely believable. However, claiming that not
only does an entire secret underground rail system exist without it leaking out, but it operates faster than anything else the government has is too
far of a stretch. Stating that it is used for transporting personnel instead of being unmanned cargo transport, takes even more of the believability
away.
Sorry, I simply can't swallow that whopper of a tale...especially since our national leaders use Air Travel even during times of National Emergency.

wasnt in ID movie, 1400.00 hammer, 2800.00 toliet seat, at that rate wouldnt be hard to get the dough you need to build any thing you wanted

May explain the strange noises and rumblings that people have been talking about.
There even have been some talk of earth tremor activity that looks different on the seismic scale then some other well know quake activity.
Next question is why has the activity picked up to the point of sudden notice.

my uncle told me about this about 10 years ago. when he worked for the government he talked about this that you could go from california to dc in
about 30 miniutes. the papers i seen later conf. it was real.

Can you provide some possible sources? I would be interested in thes epapers or what your dad said.

well i can try to. havent seen my uncle in several years due to his work that "dosent exist" and wouldent know what he would say if i just came out
and asked him for the documents or if i snached and grabed

reply to post by texasoutlaw
LOL, was it your uncle? My bad..
If you could that would be great. The only semi-official docs I have seen were RAND sketches and US patents.
