Channel 5: Jackknifed Truck Jams Boston Traffic.
Specifically, a jackknifed truck in the northbound side of the O'Neill Tunnel.
Channel 4 employee has terrifying encounter with some long black thing hanging from the tunnel ceiling this morning. They could call it Diggy.
Stevie Z. reports that when driving home through the Tip O'Neill tunnel late last night (before the rains), he saw water on the road and coming down from the ceiling:
... I would say it was like standing under an awning and seeing the water come off it during a moderately heavy rainstorm. ...
He called the State Police to report it; says the dispatcher said "thanks" but didn't ask him for a location:
Maybe I'm just being a bit touchy on the matter, but goddamn, I am not feeling the sort of safety and security I think I should be feeling in a $14 billion system. No sir, I am not feeling the Big Dig love one single bit. And you'd think the State Police might at least pretend to be concerned, just for the sake of calming a very jittery public.
Tim Lavallee reports that northbound traffic through the Tip O'Neill tunnel slowed this morning when some guy started strolling through the tunnel:
... He seemed to come from nowhere and crossed all four lanes just near exit 26 to Storrow Drive. ...
