Dear Trigen,

We couldn't help but notice that yet another steam pipe explosion rained asbestos down up on Boston last Saturday afternoon at Merrimac and New Chardon. The steam-pipe explosion downtown and the various steam-related issues have us skittish.

In fact, we've taken to playing "step on a crack, break your mama's back," only it's the high-stakes version. Now we're skipping over manholes, terrified that they will send a manhole cover flying at us and painting us with a thin layer of asbestos.

The latest explosion was described by a local news station as a "geyser," and an apartment building was evacuated. Said news station noted that these pipes belong to you, Trigen. Have you guys seen this video that was posted at Universal Hub?

The Globe quoted one of your employees as saying, "We are just grateful that nobody was injured." At the rate your company is going, Bostonist hopes you have a good lawyer because it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt and you get sued. Wouldn't it just be cheaper to pay to fix the stinking pipes?

Love,
Bostonist
