Where do Americans get those voiceover guys?

Where do they get these crazy Ra-Ra Technologists who think because
something is physically possible it is almost inevitable? Have they
ever stopped to think how the might rescue passengers from a derailed/
burning/disabled train 1500 miles from land? Not to mention if a train
even just breaks down it could trap many other following trains in the
tunnel with it. As for doing 5000 mph in the tunnel - only possible
with the tunnel in vacuum which makes evacuating a train equivalent to
docking with the space station not to mention the extra pressure the
tunnel will have to put up with from the external ocean. Its all total
******** but it makes a nice Boys Own style documentary I suppose.
