Big Dig Woes

Here we are - more than two weeks since the Big Dig proved faulty and killed a 39-year-old woman. The cause - faulty bolt and epoxy assemblies within the I-90 connector tunnel.

As investigators continue inspection every inch of the $14+ billion Central Artery Tunnel Project infrastructure, more and more faulty bolts are being found on a daily basis.

With local news outlets unveiling documents saying the bolts in that part of the project were suspect and failing years ago, and an Inspector General report questioning the materials used in the project back as far as 1998, it puts to mind the question of what went wrong - from both the material side of things and the project managers, coordinators and construction crews charged with making this state-of-the-art project other cities around the world would want to mimic. Now, it's a wonder it's all still standing.
