[quote user="MidlandMike"] I thought this meant that the water and sand came in thru a small hole (offset?), and then spread a distance down the tunnel.[/quote] You could be right. As an civil engineer I didn't grasp this interpretation as these 130' would only have to be cleaned not repaired. I hope some day will get the details. But DB is not bound to make the accident report public. Hopefully the outside pressure is high enough to do it. The second TBM in the West Tube resumed work. To prevent a similar desaster a second concrete slab is built to protect the crossing of West Tube and mainline. Re-opening of the mainline is still scheduled for Oct. 7th 2017 Regards, Volker
