And regardless of what you think of him do try and remember this: Olbermann is not a reporter. He's a commentator. It seems to me like a lot of people have forgotten the difference between the two.
I know what the difference is.
One is Jon Stewart and the other is Stephen Colbert.
Then again, this is the same group of people who successfully sued the glue manufacturer who created the glue that failed to hold up 2-ton slabs of concrete. Never mind that the glue was never designed for such an application or that no one in their right mind GLUES 2-ton slabs of concrete to the ceiling of tunnels.
Well that`s just a blatant misstatement, and while I`m not saying the MBTA is a well run organization, they don't need additional problems attributed to them.
First of all, the slabs of concrete that fell were part of the Big Dig, which is run by Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, not the MBTA. Both are poorly run transportation organizations in Massachusetts, but they are not the same.
Secondly, the suits in the ceiling collapse were brought by the Massachusetts Attorney General's office not the MBTA. They were brought against many of the companies involved, including the adhesive company and Bechtel/Parsons Brinckerhoff, the primary consulting firm. The Turnpike Authority was not really to blame, it was either BPB for using an adhesive meant for wall panels for ceilings, or the adhesive company for not realizing their product was being improperly used. Both were sued by the Massachusetts Attorney General's office and paid millions to the state.

Despite what scientists originally thought, these holes allow 20 times the normal amount of solar particles through when they are facing away from the sun. This being opposite from what the scientists had originally speculated.
So I guess scientists originally thought that the holes shot 20 times the normal amount of solar radiation into space when they faced away from the sun?
