Big Dig = A big pain in the ass.

Question: What do you get when you cross shoddy workmanship and increasingly troublesome political and contracting issues?

Anwer: A ballooning budget of almost 15 billion dollars.

Not that anyone living outside of Massachusetts should really care about any of this, but both of those articles are good examples of just how big of a clusterfuck this project has turned out to be so far (it's also the reason I resort to public transportation for when I need to go into Boston.)

I think McClaughlin put it best: THE BIG PIG

i used to live in mass. like 7 years ago.

i can't believe that shit is still going on. it's horrible.

Uh, uh.....I'm lost.

It's still going on? I went to a Sox/Yankees game about 4 years ago and I remember driving in a cab over part of a highway and you could look down over the rail and see about a 15 story cavern under you, it was crazy.

Bill Weld really fucked up this one. The tunnel is leaking everywhere and there is no end in sight.

kill all those fucks and bury them in their tunnel.

do they just keep charging and charging and charging the city to pay for their fuck ups? after a couple years with no progress they should just be killed and the project should continue over their corpses (under new management). if they are incompetant they shouldnt be trying to do this shit.
