Isn’t it a bad idea to build a tunnel through a ship?
I fear it might cause it to sink.
No no, they build the tunnel above the ship. Think like a covered bridge, but permanently attached to the ship. That way cars will drive in one end, the ship sails off and the cars drive off at the destination.
Did you guys not read the article? It clearly states that the tunnel is building itself through the ships tunnel.
