Look for citations in PubMed and Google Scholar by Brugge and Spengler.
You have a incorrect understanding of the actual risk?

At least that's what it seems like from your comment. That's hardly unusual - nearly all of us are guilty of poor quantitative risk analysis at one time or another.
The vast lion's share of risk is simply getting behind the wheel in the first place. The accident rate in the 93 tunnel is several times less that that for the old Expressway (measured either absolutely or by passenger miles carried), and constitutes only a passingly small fraction of the travel risk for the drivers making use of it.
Obviously there have been unfortunate (and in retrospect, avoidable) injuries/fatalities due to errors in the construction and/or design of parts of the tunnel. But there's no call for constipating anxiety if we make sure those are addressed and that proper vigilance and maintenance are exercised (which is the same as we expect of any other major engineered facility).

but God "prints" the money too, so why would he care what he got charged?
