Everybody got rich on Boston's Big Dig -- except the taxpayers. The $14.6 billion dollar project to put Boston's main artery underground was tainted with graft and fraud from the very beginning. Hey, it's Boston. Three years after opening, the tunnels are already unstable. On Monday night, a woman was killed when four concrete slabs weighing three tons each fell from the ceiling onto her car. Democrats lie, people die. Like China's 3 Gorges Dam, the Big Dig was the most expensive engineering project in the country's history. I predict that if politicians, contracters and union bosses don't sweep this investigation under the carpet, it will also be the biggest scandal in this country's history.

Talk about a pork barrel job gone bad...WOW...oh this story will be buried fast.
Faster than a cat covering up.
I bet the engineering was fine, but the contractors cut corners on the specs--I once took over herd riding on a construction project and found that to be the case. And my predecessor knew stuff and let them get away with it--I don't think he was on the payroll, just good ol boy stuff-- I called them on numerous things, made them do them over, made a real pain of myself--but my company got what they paid for, and I was well rewarded with a hearty handshake--NOT--because unbeknownst to me my bosses were in on it!--But our project wouldn't have endangered lives...Oh, well...
