Seattle. Ha, ha. The borer is currently stuck and it's unclear whether they will be able to fix it.
I knew someone would bring up the borer, even though in no way addresses my point. Let me say it again: the Seattle cost overruns are nowhere comparable [to those of the big digs].
The borer being stuck is a comparatively minor overrun and the second part of your comment "unclear whether they will be able to fix it" is just false. They will reach it through a secondary hole and either fix it or get it out of the way.
