BOSTON AP – An epoxy company blamed for a deadly ceiling collapse inside one of Boston’s Big Dig highway tunnels pleaded not guilty Wednesday to manslaughter.
Powers Fasteners Inc., based in Brewster, N.Y., was indicted by a grand jury last month in the July 2006 death of Milena Del Valle. Del Valle was killed when 26 tons of concrete ceiling panels came crashing down as she and her husband drove through a tunnel. Her husband suffered minor injuries.
