i eagerly await to see how a tanker (its reported) can overturn on a Euro tunnel shuttle.i know how these work and its beyond me

My thoughts as well deggers316, I have been thinking about that all morning.

Also according to my paper, it says it could have been a lorries tyre overheating and set on fire, how can that be, when they are on a shuttle wagon?

Very strange?

I think it is now time to have a re-think on what and cannot be allowed access into the tunnel.

At a minimum there should be a ban on large quantities of hazardous materials, transported in the tunnel, ie. corrosive chemicals, explosives and highly inflammable fuels etc.
