For almost the last 50 years, Virginia has been home to Bridge-Tunnels.  So many in fact that you almost cannot get out of Norfolk without going through one.  There is the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, The Portsmouth Bridge Tunnel, the Monitor and Merrimac (the newest) Bridge Tunnel, and the crowning glory - the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.  In all that time, there have been plenty of accidents.  Fools are found on every road, and some fatalities have resulted.  But these were due to the drivers.

Not the engineers.

In less time than you can spell the disaster that Boston calls the "Big Dig", one of the tunnels has caused a fatality.  Through no fault of the driver, but through sloth, mismanagement, graft and incompetence.  Yes, the tunnel named for Tip O'Neil took a life.  And all the bozos in Boston are looking for a scape goat.  A scape goat for a project woefully over budget, and woefully shoddy on materials and workmanship.

And this is the shining example of the "worker's paradise" in the most liberal state in the nation?  it is both an embarrassment and a shame.  And I would be hard pressed if I lived in such a utopia of incompetence and greed, to crow about it.  Yet the Massachusettes pols think they have some hot snot on a china plate.

It is sad that a lady had to pay with her life over this boondoggle.  But everyone involved with this fiasco should be brought up on criminal charges.  And after canning the incompetant boobs, they should bring in people who have done this, and done it right, from Virginia and New York and get the stupid thing fixed.

How many more have to die for these politicians to realize their pride is not worth another life?
