Last year a motorist was killed in Boston's Big Dig tunnel when a concrete ceiling panel fell onto her car.  Today Massachusetts filed a criminal indictment for involuntary manslaughter against a New York company that supplied the epoxy anchor adhesive used to affix the panels to the top of the tunnel.   The indictment comes on the heels of last month's NTSB report concluding that the adhesive was not able to withstand long-term loads and that the NY company failed to divulge enough information about the product when selling it for use in the tunnel.
