Beneath the waters of the English Channel lies one of the greatest engineering achievements of the 20th century – the Channel Tunnel , or as it’s often called, the Chunnel .  Stretching 50.45 km between Folkestone (UK) and Sangatte near Calais (France) , it’s the longest undersea tunnel in the world , with 37.9 km of its length running beneath the seabed.  When it officially opened in May 1994 , it redefined what was possible in civil engineering.  Building the Impossible 

On November 7, 1940, just four months after it opened, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State collapsed in spectacular fashion. A steady 67km/h wind sent the elegant suspension bridge into violent oscillations until its mid-span tore apart and fell into the Narrows below. No lives were lost that day, but the event shook the engineering world. The collapse became one of the most famous failures in modern history – captured on film, studied in classrooms, and referenced

Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk Poland has taken a bold step towards strengthening family support and addressing population decline by introducing a zero personal income tax (PIT) for parents raising two of more children. Under the new law, families earning up to 140,000 zloty (€32,973) per year will no longer pay income tax. This aims to increase household income, stimulate economic activity, and encourage higher birth rates. The policy reflects a broader theme shaping g
