FRIDAY NIGHT VIDEOS: The Tunnel Boring Machine at Work

Here’s some video of the giant boring machine digging out a new tunnel 140 feet below Manhattan.

It’s part of the $7.2 billion project to link the Long Island Railroad to Grand Central (Nooooooo!!!!)–and, presumably, vice versa–by extending the subway tunnel.

The 200-ton machine was shipped in pieces from Italy, then reassembled in Long Island city.
