ChunnelFire

NPR's Michael Goldfarb in London reports on new facts emerging from inspectors who are looking at the damage in the train tunnel underneath the English Channel between Britain and France. Monday night, a freight train caught fire. There were no serious injuries to passengers or crew, but the tunnel has been shut down. Questions yet to be answered concern safety for future train transport, and how the shut-down will affect the financial future of the Chunnel.
