Miracle Under the Alps After years of work deep under the surface of the earth, drilling on the Gotthard Base Tunnel is set to be completed on Friday. It will be years before the first trains roll through the 57-kilometer-long tunnel, but given the difficulties workers have encountered, it is a wonder they have come this far.

Heh, I posted the same thing on metafilter.

I kept my expressions of admiration in the boyish 'ossom' register. That is to say; did not mention the Speer-Hitler Ruinenwert Theory. So the thread wasn't Godwinned from the start.
Do I get a cookie for my restraint?
