Flooded Chinatown

Rob Colonna shows us what happens when a water main bursts in Chinatown, in this case where Kneeland and Stuart meet at Washington, around 5:30 a.m.

Katie Bell chronicled the early morning flooding caused by a 20-inch main cracking:

Water pressure immediately dropped, from Chinatown to the South End and Bay Village.

My tooth broke this morning (long time coming) and now I know why my dentist at Tufts never returned the call...

Hey - when you're draining the swamp, the water's gotta go somewhere!
