Big Dig Debris Kills Boston Motorist

Susan and I went through this very part of the tunnel (to get to Logan Airport) at least 6 times the past 2 weeks!
How scary is that?







"At least 12 tons of concrete fell from the ceiling of this city's Big Dig late Monday night, crushing a woman to death and fueling new questions about the safety of the $15-billion underground highway and tunnel system.

Declaring that "people should not have to drive through turnpike tunnels with their fingers crossed," Gov. Mitt Romney said Tuesday that he understood why motorists might be losing confidence in the Big Dig.

"I don't think anyone can feel safe driving through a tunnel system where just last night, someone got killed by a 3-ton piece of concrete falling on their car," he said."
