Has anybody researched how close to the surface these tunnels would run? If these are not curved, following the surface of the Earth, but instead are straight lines from one point to another, it sounds like the middle might be quite some distance under ground. Wouldn't the middle of a tunnel between NY and LA be upwards of half a mile deep if that was a straight line through the Earth? How the hell do you get somebody out of there when something breaks?
