Why is everybody complaining? That tunnel was made in America by wicked well-paid union labor!

And the enlightened ones among us simply *can't* understand why this state is losing population.

The state AG is the same guy Amorello said today told him, Amorello, to keep his mouth shut...

"We are confident that our work fully complied with the plans and specifications provided by the Central Artery Tunnel Project. In addition, the work was inspected and approved by the Central Artery Tunnel Project."
Translation: "Don't look at us if we did a crappy job and killed that lady. Our shoddy work was exactly as lousy as the state bureaucrats allowed it to be."

In April, I flew out to Boston to see a product demo. As my sales rep was driving me from the airport out to Industrial Park Hell (Billerica), we drove through these tunnels. She said that they leaked badly, the whole project had turned out to be a total joke, and that the construction was basically run by the mob. She seemed to think that eventually, they'd collapse.
I guess she was right!

"We will get to the bottom of what occurred here and hold any party responsible." Amorello said..." "Any party" meaning "any other party but ME".

I think the fair thing to do would be to make amorello live his life out in his tunnel--or what may be left of it.

This morning, one of the guys who worked on the big dig had written a warning to FM Amarillo in 1998 that the risk was high that the concrete slabs on the suspended ceilings would fall.
What's worse, the beams supporting them had lots of holes drilled into them. Then the holes were filled in, and the beams were not replaced.
Yikes!
Lots of people will be looking for an alternate route to the airport

Reminds me of the running bit on Stargate SG-1 in which O'Neill routinely taunts a particularly oily Jaffa at each meeting: "Still failing upward, I see..."
Amorello is a true hack without any visible capabilities or common sense, whose entire career has been in running from one failed public job to another. That said, Romney and Amorello truly dispise one another and are like two male cats stuffed into a sack.

Wonder if anything like this was hanging from the tunnel roof structure? This is what was left of the KC Hyatt walkway.

Interesting
link that deals with health and safety related aspects of the tunnel ceiling. Gives some insight on why the design was changed. And has a couple of pics of the ceiling being constructed.

It is now clear to me how the grand scheme of traffic congestion reduction is supposed to work in Boston. Make everyone so afraid to use the roadways they don't come into the city.

They'll just find the one Republican in Boston and blame him.

Massachusetts Turpike Authority Chairman Matthew Amorello, second from left, speaks with state Attorney General Tom Reilly, center, outside a Big Dig tunnel in Boston Tuesday, July 11, 2006, where slabs fell from the ceiling late Monday night killing a female motorist. |
