"Sounds like SWAT was called in for an armed standoff at 200 Terminal in Charlestown.
An armed individual is barricaded inside.
There may have been a pursuit that led up to the standoff.
There has been no mention of any hostages, but we have no further info."

It'd be a downgrade to move here, that's why.

I came here looking for this. I drove over the bridge and saw police boats In the water and state police flying in that direction. Seems odd that the helicopters got there so early. I saw the helicopters coming from Somerville. Looks like something going on in the water
Edit. I saw 3 helicopters

> Eng acknowledged that "it's clear MBTA service is not at the level it should be," and hasn't been for a long time. He did not list specific steps he would take on day one, but cited several broad areas that need immediate attention at the T, including safety, reliability, scheduling and finding more workers.
That sounds a lot like someone who is aware it is currently none of the things you mention.

-
Waterproofing repairs in the station - which is I believe what's put the escalator out of commission.
-
Building a new headhouse to the Northeast, basically in front of the District Hall building.

Reply to Anyone noticing the 39 bus has been extra delayed lately? + does anyone know why? by Birdtutorial
39 toward Forest Hills has always been bad. So much loading and unloading along Huntington -- we really ought to at least have the infrastructure in place so that buses and trains never wait at lights.

> It seems possible that he might bring assumptions and approaches from NY that are not a fit for MBTA.
Bring on whatever the fuck he has. I feel like at this point ANYTHING is better that whatever shitshow is going on at the moment.
