Epoxy Led to Boston Big Dig Ceiling Collapse: Family Gets $6 Million Settlement
The family of a woman crushed to death received a $6 million settlement from one of the 15 defendants in a lawsuit stemming from a tunnel collapse, reports the Associated Press. The accident occurred during Boston's Big Dig project.
Twenty-six tons of concrete rained down on the woman's car, killing her but leaving her husband with only minor injuries. The tunnel ceiling collapsed because a fast-drying epoxy was improperly used to secure overhead loads, concluded an investigation. The company offering the settlement had supplied the epoxy, according to the AP, and is also facing criminal charges.
