To Build Or Not To Build

To build or not to build is the question. The topic being the rail tunnel connecting Europe and Africa.  The idea being that connecting Africa and Europe would create a economy boost and also a vast place for tourist to visit, but there are many things stopping the construction though, one thing being that it would cost 13 billion dollars. Another being that there is no way for them to know if the tunnel will be a a success. If it is not a success and there isn't  a economy boost then they will be in debt 13 billion with out a income paying it off. Another concern is they would need a steady flow of people and goods going through the tunnel. Through this both continents would make money from the other. The main reason that this idea was dismissed is because of the main reason which is the geological conditions
Europe and Africa and where they are going to be connected from 
.  one of them being that the sea at this point is 1,000 ft deep.Another being that there is a lot of tectonic movements between the African and European plates. if these continents were to be connected it would be one of the  most modern architectural  projects.
