Part Of Big Dig Tunnel Collapses, Killing One

quote[The ceiling panels help facilitate airflow in the tunnel, Amorello said, and are found almost exclusively in the connector between Interstate 93 and the Ted Williams Tunnel. A federal transportation team is coming from Washington to help state officials survey the damage. Despite the accident, Amorello said the Big Dig was safe.

“In terms of the structural integrity of the tunnels, that isn’t a factor,” Amorello said.

The tunnels are inspected once every two years, Amorello said. The tunnel in which the ceiling collapsed opened in January 2003.]


Uhm, am I missing something? It is safe, yet someone just died? It was inspected in 2005, so it's safe, yet in 2006 it fucking collpased and killed someone? How in hell can they claim it's safe???
