Part 2/8:
The vision of a tunnel bridging London and New York is not a novel concept; its roots trace back to the 1880s, championed by Michael Vern, son of the famed science fiction author Jules Vern. The notion has permeated popular culture, evidenced by various films, including a notable one from the 1930s that ponders the same concept. The proposed tunnel would stretch over 3,000 miles beneath the turbulent Atlantic Ocean, crossing the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, an area fraught with geological challenges.
