Inches Too Tall for Tunnel, Rig Plies It Anyway

They used to do this on the Boston Storrow Drive tunnels every so often.

Those clearances were even lower.

I remember running along the Charles River one day and hearing a loud bang. As I turned to look, there was a cloud of white paper flying up in the air. It was a windy.

It was a plume of envelopes from a truck that had just tried to put its big nose into the tiny tunnel.

When we went to look, the truck was stuck in the hole but enough of the back had peeled off to let the snowstorm of paper out.
