A fire broke out Thursday Sept 11, 2008 on a train shuttling trucks under the English Channel between England and France, suspending traffic in the undersea tunnel, officials said. All passengers were evacuated safely. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze after it broke out about 11 kilometers (7 miles) from the French side, said a spokesman for Eurotunnel, the company that operates the tunnel.
