Holy shit just saw 10 ft flames and smoke shoot out of a manhole cover on Atlantic Ave. across from South Station

Dale Cruse then added:

My girlfriend at S. Station said manhole cover smoked and exploded. Fire shot out while homeless man watched, like, "ain't no thang".

Flaming manholes are quite common in and near the leather district :)

Tom May is sticking up 80 million middle fingers right at you Back Bay and Downtown.

Is it irony that the Public Utilities Commission, which oversees the much deregulated poop show known as Nstar, is located inside South Station?
