Dozens of Eurotunnel passengers headed for the UK were stranded in emergency tunnels beneath the English Channel on Aug. 23 for up to five hours after a train broke down.

Video footage on social media showed some holidaymakers tramping through a maintenance tunnel with children, suitcases, and dogs in tow as they were returning from vacations in France.
