I suppose making NYC a no-fly zone is one way to prevent a 9/11 from ever happening again.
It should be train-only
so unfortunately you cannot build a train from london to new york
The one and only good LaRouche idea: Bering Strait train
I mean... if Russia and the U.S. wanted to, they probably could build bridges connecting Siberia and Alaska
For sure but as much as I love trains, I'm gonna have to go with an eight hour flight over a two day high speed rail trip for most occasions!
Smh get out of the capitalist mindset of rushing yourself and enjoy a peaceful 2 day train ride across the country
Okay fine, you win.
How about we just build a massive high-speed rail transfer station at Gander, so the transatlantic flights from Europe can land in North America and passengers can take the train to their final destinations
Where is Gander?
Somewhere in Canada, it's where they redirected all the flights after 9/11. IIRC it's a pretty small town and they were incapable of handling that much international traffic.
Tl;dr it’s an airport in Newfoundland with a big runway that handled a lot of refueling stops for transatlantic flights until the 80’s
