Thar she blows



As you know, Bertha has been stuck for over a year underneath downtown Seattle.  They finally finished the 120 foot deep rescue pit, and she recently managed to creep forward into the hole. Of course she is dirty!  You gotta love the "car wash" action on this video.

Starting this week, they hope to pull her above ground so repairs can begin. But since no one really knows what the problem is or how long it will take to fix, the saga is just getting started.

If you just can't get enough of watching our tax dollars at work, the Washington Department of Transportation has thoughtfully set up the "Follow Bertha" website with live construction cams and time lapse videos  CLICK HERE.
