This looks like something straight out of a Scify movie or something. But what you are looking at is a plan for a 4,000 mph underwater train that will travel from New York to London. Doing the calculations out the total time the trip will take is just under an hour, compared to a flight that takes 5 hours. This is possible however there is some serious ladders to climb first. This tube will be essentially a vacuum and for it to reach the top speed of 4,000 mph there must be no air what-so-ever. If there was to be air in this tube the train could cause a seismic boom and sink the train and tube. So lets hope that we can get some engineers working to find a sufficient alternative or something because I really want to ride this.
