The tunnel section displays the twitter tunnel visualization. The interval being displayed is rendered as text beside the Tunnel header. A node has dotted edges to its retweets, and a reply has a solid edge. The circles and numbers represent regular time steps which can be adjusted by the user.
Each set of retweets or replies is visualized as a tree on its own, placed in a timeline where the latest activity is furthest from the center of the visualization.

At the bottom of the screen, a histogram is rendered that shows the volume of tweets related to each search over time as a stacked bar chart. The user may select portions of the timeline tot display in the Tunnel visualization.
