Come il disastro del Monte Bianco cambiò la sicurezza delle gallerie
L’Italia che Costruiva

On March 24, 1999, a burning truck turned the Mont Blanc tunnel into a trap: 53 hours of fire, 39 victims, and rescuers who were also trapped.
We retrace the history of the tunnel between Italy and France, from the construction sites beneath the Alps to the 1965 inauguration, up to the 1999 disaster and reopening. Two control rooms, ventilation problems, and shelters without protected escape routes: why weren't the safety measures enough?
A story of engineering, responsibility, and courage, between Chamonix and Courmayeur, that helped change the safety of European tunnels.
Did you travel through the tunnel before 1999 or after it reopened? Share your memories in the comments.
