Steam spews from a downtown Boston manhole


A thick plume of steam spewed from a manhole today after a steam pipe under a downtown Boston street apparently ruptured. Several workers were decontaminated and streets in the area were closed because of concerns that asbestos had been released.


The steam was released from a pipe owned by Trigen Boston Energy Corp., said Larry Plitch, general counsel for the Trigen companies.
