Global Warming Shuts Down Channel Tunnel- Two Trains Blocking Tracks

Bloomberg is reporting as many as 1300 people may be stranded.

As many as 1,300 passengers from two trains in one tunnel were to be evacuated on an empty vehicle being sent to collect them from another tunnel, the report cited the spokesman of Eurotunnel as saying. Three trains broke down, the report said.

The temperature difference between the cold air and warm tunnel caused the trains to break down, the BBC reported on its Web site, citing train operator Eurostar. The Met Office issued amber warnings for London and southeastern England earlier this week amid heavy snow.

Further proof of Global Warming....I mean climate change.

I hope the passengers and crew are able to get un-stuck from the tunnel safe and sound.
