00:00Deep beneath the Bosphorus seabed, the Eurasia Tunnel is engineered to withstand immense tectonic forces.
00:07How do millions of pounds of tectonic energy fail to snap this massive steel tube apart?
00:14Intuition suggests rigid steel anchors work best, but rigid metals snap instantly under intense tectonic shear stress.
00:22Alternating layers of natural rubber and lead cores stretch and melt slightly to absorb every shockwave.
00:30This seismic isolation protects commuters as the Eurasia Tunnel withstands immense tectonic forces beneath the Bosporus seabed.
