My best interpretation of what the Big Dig is, is that a bunch of politicians got together and decided to pour billions of dollars into making giant holes in Boston and the surrounding area. Their official website has a slightly different explanation, something about traffic. 
A week or two ago, some of the ceiling panels fell crushing and killing a woman, and the headlines and defects started pouring in.
Questions like Do you feel safe? have been blasted across local nightly news. I am more likely to be run over by a shopping cart at Market Basket than I am to have a ceiling panel fall on me.
The latest in this ongoing saga is:
