By 1884 the British stopped digging, and nothing has been done since then, although there is no doubt about the tunnel's feasibility.

They have knocked out Dienbienphu's two airstrips, but supplies pour in and wounded move out in a motley armada of helicopters and transports that parachute their cargoes. For the French, the cost is not small - about 1,200 killed, wounded or missing - and the respite in infantry fighting brings no respite from the nerve-racking devil's clockwork...
