Moral of the story from all the studies done to date are that you couldn't put another tunnel in that soil due to higher building standards and earthquake requirements today. If we were in the 50s or 60s, then maybe but the same reason we don't build with asbestos today or have lead in our fuel is simply because of increased environmental and health safety requirements.
This is what a lot of naysayers simply don't understand. It isn't 1959 anymore, we have seat belts in cars.
