Talk:Mont Blanc Tunnel

message: Note that the article mostly covers the tunnel fire. What about the tunnel itself?
*My feelings exactly. I wanted to know about the engineering, design, and integration into the Eurpoean motorway system. The extensive information about the fire is interesting, but because it is so lengthy it should be broken into a seperate entry.--Black Orpheus 22:34, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Mont Blanc Tunnel and Mont Blanc Tunnel fire

message: The truck driver's name is written in multiple ways throughout the article, which is accurate?--68.96.240.146 13:25, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Degrave/Degreaves

message: Don't think that a separate page would be helpful to readers. The information is an integral part of the tunnel's history. Best to put it here, if it gets too long then think again about new page, Lovellester 20:30, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Separate Page, where have we got to?

message: Before exploring a split, it may be advisable to add info on the tunnel design and engineering as well as history prior to 1999. This info is already available in the French and Italian Wikipedia articles and should be translated from either or both. Then a split can be seriously considered...

message: I can't find any mention in any documentation of an installed sprinkler system in the tunnel before 1999. 166.179.16.192 (talk)
There is mention of a pressurised fire service water main: http://www.atmb.net/atmb/en/tunnel/209/?id_article=745&  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.64.187.145 (talk) 00:25, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disputed - Sprinkler system 

message: Regarding the 1999 tunnel fire, this article states there were 12 survivors, but the article dedicated to Pierlucio Tinazzi states 10, and a BBC news article on that page also says 10 people survived. So is there a clear figure? 94.192.52.244 (talk) 17:38, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Convictions and sentences are listed but what were the convictions for? Rsduhamel (talk) 05:45, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it looks very weird at the moment without any justification for the convictions and given also that there is apparently not even certainty about what started the fire. AlexFekken (talk) 10:54, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Convictions 

message: I think its time now that the 1999 fire had its own article - not least because as it stands, incorporating this incident with the tunnel itself means that the appropriate links and catagories are not appended to it. Mostly, though, an event of this magnitude and with such repercussions is sufficently important to warrant its own page. I'll make a start on my sandbox...unless someone else with better article writing cred and/or knowledge of the incident or subject would like to do so. Plutonium27 (talk) 04:55, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Separate article for fire? 

message: From the article:
::1980: An additional air shaft, 7 metres (23 ft) in diameter, is built to avoid the build-up of foul air at the French end of the tunnel.
Any ideas why there is stinky air building up at the French side? 132.3.65.79 (talk) 21:14, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stinky Air 

message: From the article:
::At this spot, it lies 2,480 metres (8,140 ft) beneath the surface, making it the world's second deepest operational tunnel[3] after the Gotthard Base Tunnel. 
From the article about the Gotthard Base Tunnel:
::It is the deepest railway tunnel in the world, with a maximum depth of 2,450 m (8,040 ft),[4] comparable to ...
This makes no sense. What is correct and what is wrong? Does anybody have additional evidence for the overlay of these two tunnels?
