!["China develops a vacuum train with a speed of 1000 kilometers per hour, faster than airplanes! It adopts advanced maglev technology along with near-vacuum tubes, which could be the key to the future high-speed rail revolution!" [832x1169 - 484KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/8y9LYs.png){kind=link}
A vacuum failure could be catastrophic. If there were a sudden rupture in a section of the tube, the result would be a "wall" of air rushing into the tube at close to the speed of sound. Should a train be travelling toward that, it would impact the wall of air like hitting concrete, resulting in a tube full of mashed passengers.
I wonder how they handle thermal expansion, corrosion, etc?
Thunderf00t did a video about it regarding the similar idea called Hyperloop Musk scammed Commiefornia investors with.
He is an insufferable cunt almost all the time, but occasionally he's correct. Hyperloop, Solar Freakin' Roadways and the Waterseeker were a few notable ones of his.

Agreed. That probably because of his infinite hate for Musk.
