Hollywood vs. Reality: How LA’s Wilshire Subway Was Really Built

Wilshire Subway: Did LA blast subway tunnels under Wilshire Boulevard? Hollywood says yes — engineers say no. Here’s how Metro safely tunneled beneath Miracle Mile.

Published

on

envato labs image edit

When the 1997 disaster film Volcano depicted lava erupting along Wilshire Boulevard and referenced blasting during Red Line subway construction, it delivered gripping cinema — but not accurate engineering.

In reality, Los Angeles Metro did not rely on large-scale blasting to construct subway tunnels beneath Wilshire Boulevard and the Miracle Mile. Instead, engineers used tunnel boring machines (TBMs) specifically to avoid the very risks Hollywood dramatized.

Why Blasting Was Avoided

The Wilshire Corridor sits atop historic oil fields, making methane gas pockets a known and serious concern. A deadly methane explosion near Fairfax Avenue in 1985 led to heightened scrutiny of underground construction in the area. Blasting in such conditions could have caused unpredictable gas releases, ground instability, or damage to surface structures.

As a result, Metro engineers chose pressurized, closed-face tunnel boring machines, which allow for:

  • Controlled excavation in dense urban environments

  • Continuous ground support to prevent settlement

  • Integrated gas detection and ventilation systems

These machines grind slowly through soil and rock while installing precast concrete tunnel linings, creating a sealed, gas-resistant structure as they advance. envato labs image edit

The Real Engineering Feat

Although Volcano took creative liberties for dramatic effect, the true story of tunneling under Wilshire is no less impressive. Advances in TBM technology and methane mitigation ultimately allowed the Metro D Line (formerly the Red Line/Purple Line) to safely pass through one of Los Angeles’ most geologically complex corridors — without explosions, collapsing streets, or cinematic chaos.

Bottom Line

Volcano remains a memorable piece of 1990s disaster cinema, but its portrayal of subway construction is fiction. The real achievement lies in decades of careful planning, modern tunneling technology, and engineering solutions that quietly reshaped Los Angeles beneath its busiest boulevard.

Beam Unveils Veo 3.1-Powered AI Platform: Transforming Videos into Playable Games and Interactive Stories

In a year where generative AI and short-form content are rewriting the rules of digital storytelling, Beam is pushing the boundaries even further. Today, Beam—developed by Phaser Studio Inc.—announced the launch of its Veo 3.1-powered AI platform, a groundbreaking tool that empowers creators to turn ordinary videos into playable mini-games and interactive AI stories, all without writing a single line of code.

Video, Reimagined: From Passive Watching to Active Playing

For decades, video has been the dominant format online—but it’s always been a one-way street: watch, react, repeat. Beam is flipping that script. By introducing “playable video,” Beam merges the worlds of generative AI, interactive media, and game creation. The result? Stories and experiences that aren’t just watched, but actively played and explored.
“Video has become the dominant format on the internet, but it’s always been passive,” says Matt Dukes, CEO of Beam. “Beam turns video into something interactive. By combining Veo 3.1 with a no-code game-creation workflow, we’re giving creators a new medium where stories, games, and short-form content all converge and come to life.”

How It Works: No-Code Creation, Limitless Possibilities

Beam’s platform is powered by a multi-model AI engine, including the latest Veo 3.1 and other advanced video generation models. Here’s what makes it unique:
  • AI-Generated Media: Instantly create video, images, and music using cutting-edge AI tools.
  • Drag-and-Drop Grid Editor: Arrange scenes, add branching choices, and build interactive storylines—all visually, right in your browser.
  • Instant Publishing: Share your playable mini-games and interactive shorts to the web with a single click.
The platform is designed for everyone—from indie storytellers and educators to brands and viral content creators. Early adopters are already bringing to life dating sims, choose-your-own-adventure stories, action-packed mini-games, interactive ASMR experiences, and even wholesome, playable pet tales.

Free Early Access for Creators

Beam is rolling out with an early-access program that offers unlimited free generations. This means creators can experiment, iterate, and publish their first projects without barriers. Looking ahead, Beam plans to introduce monetization, discovery, and distribution tools to help creators grow their audiences and revenue.
One early creator summed it up perfectly: “I’ve used AI video tools before, but Beam is the first time I felt like I was actually building a game, not just generating clips. Being able to turn a video into something people can interact with completely changes how I think about storytelling.”

The Future of Interactive Media

Beam isn’t just another AI tool—it’s a new creative medium. As Dukes puts it, “AI unlocked image creation. Then it unlocked video. Playable video is the next step in the evolution of digital media, and Beam is built specifically for that future.”
