Amorello should be indicted - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Initial inspections revealed dozens of signs of bolts loosening and other potential failures in the eastbound connector tunnel, part of the main route to Boston's Logan Airport, Turnpike Authority officials and the Big Dig project manager said.

There were trouble spots in the westbound lanes of the tunnel, as well, they said.

"We're evaluating each of these individual sites," Massachusetts Turnpike Authority Chairman Matthew Amorello said. Though he added, "The tunnel system is safe."

uhhhhhhh, the tunnel is safe? reminds me of the mayor in "Jaws", no problems, everyone back in the water

in many types of construction the formula is based on
how many pounds or tons of force will it take to sheer off
the bolt or fastener... i don't see where glue in a hole follows that principle.
I thought of the same thing BF : about why in the hell the ceiling panels had to
be concrete but maybe it's in case of a fire
it has to be a non flamable material.

still the long bolt or rod should of had a L-shape where it hooks
onto a ledge of steel , you'd think-> instead of the design in question.

From what I heard,
The area that collapsed had bolts shorter than called for from the plans!
They don't / didn't call it the "Big Swig" for nothing!!!
(as in all the frigin workers who sat in the bar rooms all day when they were supposed to be on the job!!!

I am not only concerned with the bores and infrastucture of the tunnels, but am really worried about the Lenny Zakum suspension bridge. If you recall there was some problems with the spans when they were joining them. I am concerned that they took shortcuts on the brige. If that fails there will be more than one death. i reside on the north of Beantown and use the roads effected to travel to the ole fishing holes most every day. Now I travel the extra 20 some odd miles via the 128 ( 95) route to get to the South shore.

A common joke about the leaks in the tunnel was that the girlscouts were going to have a splash party and invite all to attend.

Well maybe I am crazy...Trush me on that one

But I still see a long line of cars getting off the cape or shall I say "flying" off the cape up 95.... WHat about the 20 million cars who take 495 ? And good old 2 lane rt 6 backup...And a back up going on the cape from 495..... gee I sure hope I am wrong

I won't belive it until I see it.
