Telectroscoping London to New York

"Hardly anyone knows that a secret tunnel runs deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. In May 2008, more than a century after it was begun, the tunnel has finally been completed. An extraordinary optical device called a Telectroscope has been installed at both ends which miraculously allows people to see right through the Earth from London to New York
and vice versa."

See the entrance to the tunnel thru June 15 at Fulton Ferry Landing near the Brooklyn Bridge. check for planned closures.
