Why do tunnels collapse?
A tunnel is an underground or underwater (or both) route for the transit of people and/or goods. The tunnel is surrounded by rock or other earthen materials, water or other things, and these all apply pressure on the structure of the tunnel. Sometimes these structures fail. The failure of a tunnel can come as the result of poor engineering or construction. A "bad" design or the failure of the construction crews to follow a design can leave a tunnel vulnerable to failure. Additionally, there may be earthquakes or other natural disasters, fires or explosions in the tunnel, or other events that the tunnel was not made to withstand, and collapse is possible under the circumstances.

It is located beneath the Tsugaru Strait in Japan, and is 53.85 KM (33.46 MI) long. 23.3 KM (14.5 MI) is located under the seabed. It opened on March 13, 1988. It not only is the longest tunnel, it also is the deepest train tunnel in the wold. However, watch for the completion of the Gotthard Base Tunnel in Europe to take over the record sometime around 2018.
Is the Channel Tunnel or in short the Chunnel the longest tunnel in the world?
Alas, no. There are several longer. The longest of all, the Paijanne water tunnel in Finland, is a water supply tunnel so probably doesn't count. The Seikan tunnel in Japan carries a narrow-gauge railway and is 33.5 miles long. The Channel tunnel is certainly the longest full-size railway tunnel at 31.3 miles. However, those crafty Swiss are currently at work under the Alps, and the Gotthard Base tunnel (also a standard gauge railway) will be 35.5 miles long, a clear winner.
