Engineer Says Monorail Plan Is Flawed
After getting burned by cost overruns for light rail, Seattle voters were foolish enough to vote to extend the city's signature monorail line south. Now a structural engineer says the $1.75 billion line will be obsolete and dangerous as soon as it is completed. While Monorail Project officials hint that the engineer is just disgruntled because he didn't get a contract to work on the project, the engineer claims he refused to work on a project that is so certain to fail.
