An underwater tunnel? The rare proposal of a bullet train that would travel 1,800 km under the sea | VIDEO

It is a combination between tunnel, train and hyperloop, but all under water. We are talking about the strange and very risky proposal by National Advisor Bureau Limited to build a gigantic underwater tunnel that would cover the 1,800 kilometers through which an impressive bullet train would pass.

The company has raised this openwork megastructure in the region where the most modern and amazing constructions are built. According to the Xataka page, it would unite the two port areas of the United Arab Emirates and India.

According to what is known about this project, the tunnel would pass under the Arabian Sea, entering the Gulf of Oman. In addition, it would be made up of two concrete ducts that run in parallel and remain submerged.

The option of tying them to the bottom of the sea is also being evaluated. But, in general, the aim is to keep the tunnels at a depth that does not interfere with maritime traffic.

What will this work be done for? What is the need? The first thing leads us to think about the transport of passengers, tourists and workers who wish to travel between the United Arab Emirates and India. But there is also the intention of transporting goods and raw materials.

Now, the hyperloop was also mentioned. What happens is that being a train in a tunnel, it has a certain characteristic with the train project. In addition, another similar aspect is speed, between 600 and 1,000 kilometers per hour (km/h). This would allow trips between two and four hours.
