Why no, we couldn't possibly imagine another piece of ceiling falling down like this, could we?

Bet the Japanese engineers actually do calculate what happens when thousands of Mack-san trucks lumber by. Vibration is prolly what did this piece of ceiling in.

The episode was the latest in a series of problems for tunnels involved in the $14 billion Big Dig project.
Big Dig officials stressed then that the tunnel was safe.
Lol. Right.

The same people who can't get a tunnel built (in how many years?) are the ones complaining that the entire country of Iraq isn't rebuilt yet.

Ah, another great job done by unions with my tax dollars.

Why should the ceilings even be constructed of anything as heavy? Those look like chunks of concrete lying there on the pavement. I'd put in something light enough that if it fell on a car it would not do anything worse than dent it.

I saw the headline with "Tunnel and "collapse" and immediately though - Terrorists. Then I saw big dig and realised it was- Kennedy!

That IS funny. Better call inspector Judge Ginsburg who purported he graduated
Harvard Law (but did not) to check the tunnel built of good, specified materials (which were not)
to build, below the water line, a tunnel (which was not
because it has only one wall).

In May, prosecutors charged six current and former employees of a concrete supplier with fraud for allegedly concealing that some concrete delivered to the Big Dig was not freshly mixed. State and federal officials said that long-term maintenance, not immediate safety, was the likely impact.What a lovely 14 Billion dollar potential death trap they've built!
