Trapped Under the Sea
Neil Swidey
In the 1990s, Boston built a sophisticated waste treatment plant on Deer Island that was poised to show the country how to rebound from environmental ruin. The state had been dumping barely treated sewage into the water for so long that Boston had Americas filthiest harbor, with a layer of black mayonnaise coating the seafloor. Fisheries collapsed, wildlife fled, and locals referred to floating tampon applicators as beach whistles. But before the dumping could stop, a team of divers had to make a perilous journey to the end of a 10-mile tunneldevoid of light and airto complete the construction. Five went in, but not all of them came out.
