Bechtel's concern over the tests on its bolts

Seems Bechtel is worried that the tests on the I-90 connector bolts might cause "not readily apparent" problems with the bolts. Which apparently are different from the not readily apparent problems that caused Milena Del Valle's death, Jay Fitzgerald writes.

Beth on Grand Mental Station: How do these guys sleep at night?

... Give me a goddamned break.

Note also that this is the first we've heard from Bechtel since the death in the Tunnel. Apparently it's taken them that long to figure out how to pass the buck.

Is it "muddying the waters" to point out that badly conceived testing procedures which subject the bolts to out-of-spec stresses might cause dangerous damage?
