I don't know tho, that machine is for tunneling yes, but through a mountain ? I'm not sure what they use today...high pressure water maybe, explosives. Probably a combination.
Yep that beast was on the news every night here in Seattle for years. It broke down a few times and they blamed this and that. They had to dig a hole from the topside down to it and pull out the cutter head for repairs once. That was quite the fiasco with the state blaming the contractor and the contractor blaming the state. Lawsuits were filed and it cost the City a couple hundred million extra over the original billions of dollars estimated. In the end they scrapped the pieces so there isn't anything left to take somewhere else. Good riddance.

Interesting timing with the 60 Minutes story dropping over the weekend. Someone said it started right about at noon Eastern, too?

A whistle-blower came out with documents showing a laissez-faire corporate attitude toward racism, hate speech, violence, and misinformation.

I'll have to watch that.... wow, I'm shocked.

I saw this post on the FB... lol. Surprised it's not marked as being fake, or against "community standards".
