Which tunnel has the second longest underwater section in the world?
Correct answer: The Channel tunnel, UK/France
Player #11955323
Japan’s Seikan Tunnel is the longest underwater tunnel in the world, and is located beneath the Tsugaru Strait. The tunnel is 51.7 km (32.3 miles) in length and descends to a depth of 240 metres. The Eiksund Tunnel, Norway, is the deepest road tunnel in the world sinking to a maximum depth of 287 metres (942 ft) below sea level, but only runs for 4.8 miles (7.7 km). China is building the world's longest underwater tunnel beneath the Bohai sea --at 76 miles long. 90 kilometres (56 mil) of it under water.

A little strange to ask for the second-longest rather than the first

Heartland Old Guy, they took Martin out before I got here so I missed it...but it's funny there's always someone pi55ed off at somebody for no good reason. Weird. It's the social media syndrome. I think.

jack3552, I guess people would be more likely to know the first than the second

whitesloth91, people tend to remember number1 in anything not so many remember who or what came after

I think I would be deathly afraid if I broke down in that tunnel.

HugeAckman,
Where do you live?
It’s very often called the Chunnel in the UK
HugeAckman
I've never in my life heard it called the chunnel??

Player #11955323, this would have been good information in the answer
Player #11266874
the source link contradicts the answer and says the Channel Tunnel is the longest (underwater section), not the second-longest!

Aotearoa MWYN, Right, not rite. A rite is a solemn, usually religious ceremony.

jack3552, Totally Rite ... and 1st 🏆

ATxpos, Nah, there were plenty of those "pissed off at any/everybody" people pre-social media.

jack3552, maybe because we are more likely to know that one?
