Command Crisis - BB2 Tue 3 Feb 21.30

And the tunnel is leaking.... Well that was fun, wasn't it children? Form three Guardian readers into a committee and watch them wring their hands and dither. Couldn't have put it better. I hope this remains a pilot. I missed the begininng, and was left wondering how bombs going off at Waterloo would casue a catastrophic failure of a tunnel under the Thames at least a hundred yards away beneath the river bed. Must have been pretty big bombs. Or was this once of those amazing coincidences beloved by Casualty scriptwriters? I'd also like to know how the whole Underground network became flooded by the tunnel collapse about a minute after it happened as was implied. As I recall the whole network would not be at risk of flooding by one tunnel collapse anyway. On the subject of watertight doors, do they still put them on river tunnels? The Jubilee extension crosses the Thames at several points the DLR also crosses now. I don't recall seeing anything on the DLR, but can't really see on the Jubilee as some idiot has put tinted glass walls along the platform edges. |
