From London to New York in 54 minutes! A $20 trillion tunnel that

Have you ever thought you could travel from London to New York in less than 1 hour?! Well, this could be made possible by the Mauth megaproject, which was proposed by Elon Musk and costs 20 trillion dollars.

At a time when the fastest way to travel to America is by air and flights take 8 hours, a train that could travel in an underwater tunnel at speeds of up to 5,000 km/h would reach America in 54 minutes.

A concrete proposal envisions a tunnel suspended about 49 meters below the water surface, created from multiple pre-made sections and anchored by strong cables.

The plan involves using vacuum technology to achieve this speed, creating a way to travel intercontinentally and cutting the time from 8 hours to 54 minutes.

And if the Channel Tunnel, which connects the two neighboring countries of France and England, took 6 years of work, this tunnel connecting two continents will take several decades.

However, this project is still only on paper, but if it were to be realized, it would help millions of citizens on both continents. (A2 Televizion)
