They told the French workers that were working in the tunnell that German's had appeared at the entrance on the French side and that they needed to retreat to the west. They dug like crazy. :)

I don't believe EADS had anything to do with the construction of the Channel Tunnel.

I think this is simply the case of a large manufacturer betting the company on a product for which they vastly misjudged demand. EADS screwed up, and hopefully Airbus will survive.
