It’s time for another sfth fact check! This time concerning the Cardboard Stegosaurus.
Pierre has blocked the Eurotunnel with two blocks of granite.
Some facts about granite:
Granite has a hardness from 6 to 8 on the Mohs scale (depending on the source). It’s very resistant but far from unbreakable (diamond is at 10 on the scale).
Granite’s density apparently varies between 2,63 and 2,75. For the calculations we’ll use 2,7 meaning granite weighs 2700 kilograms by cubic meter.
Some facts about the Eurotunnel:
The Eurotunnel is 50 km long, with a 38 km section under the sea. For those who don’t know this is a train tunnel. It’s actually two tunnels, each with one train track.
The tunnels have a 7,6m diameter, so a 180 m^2 section (rounded down to account for the sidewalk, track and catenary, but still an overshot imo).
The tunnels are connected in two places to allow train redirection (if necessary).
To block all trains, Pierre would have likely chosen this spot, nearest to France:
Assuming this intersection is at one fourth of way underwater, this would place it ¼*37+3,7(the French underground section) = 12,95 km from the French side. The actual distance doesn’t matter that much in regard to literally everything else but it’s nice to get an order of magnitude.
The varying width of the tunnel on the graph (specifically at the intersections) could let us think there are two tracks (and two catenaries) in here. So do we double the section?
I haven’t found easily accessible information on it so let’s say yes.
Now, what thickness do we think the slabs are? I originally wanted to say 50 cm but let’s be gracious and say they’re 20 cm thick.
Each slab would be composed of 72 m^3 of granite and weigh nearly 200 tonnes (194,4), or 200000 kilograms each (about apparently 33 stegosauruses).
There are still a lot of logistical questions I do not want to think about, such as how can this man move 200t with each arm over 12 kms (probably more, we don’t know where he got them from), without damaging the tunnels (catenaries, sidewalks and all the other stuff) (I mean maybe sideways? But how to put them properly afterwards, and have it all be airtight at that?), without being stopped before entering the tunnel or apparently being noticed by, let’s say an eighth (half of a fourth) of the 36000 sensors inside the tunnels, so 4500 sensors.
They mentioned air would be running out. Somehow, I don’t think there wouldn’t be a service tunnel exit at an intersection? Imagine they’re all being like "oh no I’m dying :(" and a door opens and someone goes "what is going on in here?"
And Cliff and Chip? They, what, ran almost 40 km with drills in hand? In the service tunnel in the best case scenario? Why weren’t they picked up by the sensors?
guys guys guys i can’t do this i don’t know HOW i missed this the first time i watched it im literally losing my mind THE WAY HE SHOVES HIS THUMB IN HER MOUTH i’m going insane i can’t think straight this is debilitating i’m never going to be the same i’m literally never going to be able to stop thinking about this
I am Munir, 19 years old, and I live with my family under difficult circumstances after losing everything due to the war.😔💔
We owned a factory for solar and electric heaters and a branch for sanitary ware, but the war forced my family and me to flee from the north of the Gaza Strip to the south.🥀😔
We lost our factory, our homes, and our cars, and we are suffering from significant financial losses.
Life here has become very hard; I lost my job and my studies, and we are facing a shortage of medicine, malnutrition, and contaminated drinking water.(💊💉، 🍲، 🚰) ❌
The most painful thing is my mother's struggle with chronic asthma, as she needs ongoing treatments🫁. Unfortunately, all the necessary medications have run out, causing her severe pain and increasing our daily anxiety.
There are types of medications that my mother needs, which are: Uminophyllin needle, Dexacort needle, Diprospan needle, Vantolin inhaler, Foradil inhaler, Meflonide inhaler, and allergy pills.
I am not a beggar, but circumstances have forced me to ask for your help.🙏🏻🥺
