Also I've read something about some urgent phone calls being made from
King's College at Aldwych to LT because of some ground movement when the
original Jubilee line was being bored (of course that stretch was never
used in the end).

A few years ago a tram tunnel project in Cologne ate a nearby library.

HS1 ate someone's back garden in the Stratford area.
