When Europe Built The Train That KILLED Airlines

Eurostar: In 1994, a tunnel was bored beneath the English Channel — and European air travel was never the same. The Eurostar didn't just connect London to Paris. It made flying between them nearly pointless. In this video, we tell the story of the train that took on the airlines and won — the Eurostar, and the Channel Tunnel that made it all possible. 🚄 What you'll learn: How the Channel Tunnel went from impossible dream to engineering reality Why the Eurostar was able to crush short-haul air routes across Europe How one train reshaped the way an entire continent thinks about travel From its dramatic 1994 debut to its dominance over budget airlines, this is the story of the most consequential train Europe ever built. If you thought trains couldn't compete with planes — think again. #Eurostar #ChannelTunnel #HighSpeedRail #Europe #TrainHistory #Aviation #Engineering ⚠️ Copyright Disclaimers • We use images and content in accordance with the YouTube Fair Use copyright guidelines • Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act states: “Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.” • This video could contain certain copyrighted video clips, pictures, or photographs that were not specifically authorized to be used by the copyright holder(s), but which we believe in good faith are protected by federal law and the fair use doctrine for one or more of the reasons noted above.
