Sounds like grand larceny to me.

could this be why some of the elevated segment is so loud? i remember there being lots of noise complaints and sound transit not quite knowing why there were any given the specifications

Great. Light rail was the only good thing to happen locally in about a decade and now it's screwed too.

In China this guy would be axed at the neck.

Lying about strength specs huh? That's a good way to get people killed and/or fuck up the project somewhere else later on. Speaking as an engineer, I say this guy is an idiot.

I see what you did there.

But, is it not a crime, too, to not call grade inflation when you see it? Am I right? And further, Appleby's iron-clad assurances were, clearly, nothing of the sort? I'm on fire here. On fire. Thanks. Thanks.
