The Gotthard Base Tunnel runs underneath the Alps for 35.5 miles. Building the tunnel was an amazing feat of engineering that cost about $12 billion US, but saved so much time and energy transporting good through the Alps that it was worth it. Now imagine if an accident were to happen in the middle of the tunnel. You'll be glad to know that there are multiple complex safety systems at work to make sure the trains run quickly and safely, or if not, that experts can respond to any emergency.
