Hello group , Betty asked if any plans were made to widen the current canal , I can say with conviction , YES , But the worlds leaders will not do it as it was planned , To many Lawsuits !!, Many many years ago when I was very young I worked at a place called Mercury Nevada , Blowing up Atomic Bombs !, one or more of the tests were to see if it was feasible to did a big trench across any land mass , As in Nicaragua , somewhat south of Panama , It was found to be very practical , a series of smaller devises would in fact ' dig ' a ditch , Saddly to say , It never happened , Nore will it Now , Phil
