China May Build an Undersea Train To America

Picture it brehs
Terrorists in cold gear,

well actually they could just be shorting the company that owns the tunnel a la Casino Royale




yeah...this has all the makings of a die hard sequel

 

[Idaeo]

It would be cheap...that's the problem.

The China bus is only $12 everywhere in the northeast...that's a shyt ride if there ever was one.

Chinatown buses have been involved in numerous accidents over the years. In March 2011, a crash on Interstate 95 in the Bronx in March 2011 left 15 persons killed and more than 20 injured. The New York Police Department cracked down on mechanically defective buses after this crash and another fatal crash on the New Jersey Turnpike in March 2011, taking six off the road for inadequate brake air pressure, steering violations and missing driver paperwork.[1]

List of accidents[edit]

• On March 18, 2005, a Boston-bound Chinatown bus operated by Lucky Star/Travel Pack stopped and evacuated its passengers on the Massachusetts Turnpike shortly before bursting into flames. No one was injured.[13]
• On August 16, 2005, a New York-bound Fung Wah bus caught fire on Interstate 91 near Meriden, Connecticut. Though the passengers later criticized the driver for being unhelpful and untrained in evacuating the bus, all passengers were eventually evacuated and no injuries were reported.[14]
• On January 20, 2006, a surprise inspection on Forsyth Street in Manhattan's Chinatown resulted in two Washington-bound buses being pulled temporarily out of service and a driver running away from authorities.[15]
• On August 15, 2006, a Shun Fa bus travelling from New York to Pittsburgh crashed; 10 passengers were injured, with 5 requiring hospitalization. One person was in critical condition.[16][17]
• On September 6, 2006, a Fung Wah bus rolled over in Auburn, Massachusetts, and caused minor injuries to 34 passengers.[18] Excessive speed was cited as a factor and the bus company was fined.[19]
• On January 3, 2007, a Fung Wah bus lost its back two wheels in Framingham, Massachusetts, early on a trip to New York. No injuries were reported.[20]
• On February 14, 2007, a Fung Wah bus en route to New York lost control and hit a guardrail on the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) in Allston, Massachusetts. No injuries were reported. State officials had advised Fung Wah to suspend operations because of the winter storms that day.[21] Fung Wah reached an agreement with regulators under which its buses will be subject to scheduled and unscheduled inspections and driver checks for 30 days. The company also agreed to improve safety, including ceasing to use buses that have not been maintained in a safe and sanitary condition.[22]
• On February 18, 2007, a bus (owned by Tremblay Motorcoach) operated by Sunshine Travel caught fire on the Massachusetts Turnpike near interchange 10A in Millbury, Massachusetts. All 50 passengers were evacuated and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is unknown. The bus was returning to the Chinatown in Boston from Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.[23]
• On March 23, 2007, a New York-bound Fung Wah bus from Boston got stuck on a concrete barrier in front of a tollbooth on the Massachusetts Turnpike at Route 128 in Weston, Massachusetts, when the bus drove up on a cement lane divider. The driver had entered an automobile-only lane and tried to change lanes. No one was injured in the incident, but the bus was taken out of service and passengers boarded another Fung Wah bus that arrived later.[24]
• On March 12, 2011, a bus operated by World Wide Tours crashed on the New England Thruway, killing 15 people.
• Also in March 2011, on the New Jersey Turnpike, a crash occurred in which the driver was killed and 40 injured, two critically.

I ain't goin lie...I've taken the Norfolk - NYC Chinatown bus a few times. Boarding is always a clusterfukk, passengers, and always cramped as hell. Can't beat that $60 round trip fare tho

I ain't doing that shyt again in my life. My mother owns one of those shops that sells the soaps/oils/black paintings etc.... Anyhow, she asks me to come with her on the China bus to NY so she can restock, as soon as we get across the Chespeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel... the bus driver makes a stop at a gas station. So we use the bathroom and whatnot, but my mom took a little long. I'm waiting for her, she comes out and lo and behold... the bus left us stranded in the middle of nowhere. So we waited for about an hour and a half for another China bus from a different company to pick us up and continue our journey to NYC... and we had to pay them also.

On the way back, these people decide not to take the Bridge-Tunnel on there but opted to go around through DC. What should've been a 6 hour drive took about 10.....

Smh these chinks are outta control. I fukk wit megabus if I gotta go to nyc. They are way more organized, clean, and from the looks of it safer. Although to be fair I would have to see the crash statistics for the other bus companies. Smh at putting ya life in the hands of some chinese drivers though, them motherfukkers can't even manage to drive a corolla without doing dumb ass shyt.

All jokes aside, it's actually a good idea, for goods (I don't imagine anyone would rather sit on that train for like 3 days instead of just taking a flight). Saw an article a couple days ago on how the eurotunnel (connecting Paris, London and Brussels) under the channel really boosted exchanges. Worth looking into at the least.
