Q&A on the Big Dig - Except for all the leaks, the tunnel is perfectly safe: “The drainage system was built with an expectation that about 500,000 gallons of water would leak into the tunnel annually. Over the past 10 months, the amount of water has reached 26 million gallons.”

This reminds me of a quote by Marion Barry: “Aside from the murders, DC has one of the lowest crime rates in the country.”
