AFP: Breakthrough for world's longest tunnel in Swiss Alps: "A giant drilling machine was punching its way through a final section of Alpine rock on Friday to complete the world's longest tunnel, after 15 years of sometimes lethal construction work.
The 57 kilometre (35.4 mile) high speed rail link, which will open in 2017, will form the linchpin of a new rail network between northern and southeastern Europe and help ease congestion and pollution in the Swiss Alps."
