    I really wonder, if he actually convinced investors of this idea or if it’s all his own pocket money.
    Because well, we built unsafe tunnels before. Then people got killed and we learned from it. He and his advisors either didn’t or just don’t have morals.

      What surprises me is that good company was allowed to build such a tunnel without proper safety infrastructure. Aren’t there regulations they should have followed?

        From what I’ve heard, they don’t need to follow the usual regulations, because it’s built on private property.

        Not sure if that’s the whole truth, though. As a European I feel like your private property death trap shouldn’t have public access, similar to how amusement parks need to follow regulations even though they’re built on private property.
        But yeah, that could be different in the US or they simply lobbied enough until they’re allowed to kill people. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    This loop (I think it was called something like that) is just a joke. Like instead of getting proper cheap, secure, green, and efficient public transport (metro for example) they just decided that it was just better to do this. Well, I think that I don’t understand anything anymore…
