The Eurotunnel train was trapped in the Channel Tunnel: About 400 passengers and four dogs were trapped in the tunnel when a train in the Channel Tunnel connecting the England and the European continent and passing under the English Channel broke down after leaving the English coast.
The Eurotunnel train, which traveled in the tunnel between England and France, was broken due to a power outage after about 12 miles after leaving England. About six hours of delays were caused by the breakdown, while passengers were trapped in the train for two hours.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, approximately 400 passengers and four dogs taking photos in the tunnel were evacuated from the failing train and transferred to another train that came to take them. Passengers were safely transported to France, but this time they started to wait for their remaining luggage on the other train.
The Channel Tunnel, the construction of which started in 1988 and opened in 1994, connects Ingiltee to the European continent. The bottom of the tunnel has a depth of 75 meters. The Channel Tunnel, which is a railway tunnel about 50,5 kilometers long, uses the high-speed Eurostar trains and Eurotunnel services used for cars and other vehicles. A passenger who takes the Eurostar train from London can reach Paris or Brussels by rail.
