One is a "rogue" airliner over London, immediately followed by a Tube
train stuck under the Thames. And the tunnel is leaking....
Well that was fun, wasn't it children? Form three Guardian readers into
a committee and watch them wring their hands and dither.
Couldn't have put it better. I hope this remains a pilot. I missed the
begininng, and was left wondering how bombs going off at Waterloo
would casue a catastrophic failure of a tunnel under the Thames at
least a hundred yards away beneath the river bed. Must have been
pretty big bombs. Or was this once of those amazing coincidences
beloved by Casualty scriptwriters? I'd also like to know how the whole
Underground network became flooded by the tunnel collapse about a
minute after it happened as was implied. As I recall the whole network
would not be at risk of flooding by one tunnel collapse anyway.
On the subject of watertight doors, do they still put them on river
tunnels? The Jubilee extension crosses the Thames at several points
the DLR also crosses now. I don't recall seeing anything on the DLR,
but can't really see on the Jubilee as some idiot has put tinted glass
walls along the platform edges.
