(I think there was a Sylvester Stallone movie which I never saw about a similar plan..."Daylight" was the name, I think. Interestingly, Hollywood usually has the hero stopping the timer at the 4-second mark,
If I remember correctly, it's an accidental explosion, not a bomb. The tunnel actually does collapse. (http://movie-reviews.colossus.net/movies/d/daylight.html mentions this) The movie is about Stallone's attempt to rescue people from inside a collapsing tunnel. Naturally he more or less succeeds. A cabbie a few days ago mentioned something about a 2.5 hour wait to get through tunnels; he claimed they were searching *all* the cars. I don't know if this is still in effect. I know that my roommate and I made it out of the city through a tunnel, without being stopped, last Friday. -David
