On October 15th, the people of Switzerland celebrated with abandon, as the drill broke through the last piece of rock, finally connecting the two ends of the Gotthard Base Tunnel - The world's longest railway tunnel. The mammoth undertaking that cost about 10 billion USD took 2,600 workers, 12 years to accomplish - And, it's not done yet.

            They hav to be pretty smart to get a tunnel that size . 10 billion dollars is alot of money to spend on something like that . But they have experience cutting through tunnels in 1882 they made one :D

                Wow that's a long tunnel, they must have gotten a huge salary for working on a tunnel for 12 years. They accomplished a lot.
