Kendall Square

[joylewis.livejournal.com]

There's a three alarm fire in Kendall Square right now, with over seventy emergency vehicles (actual count). The Kendall Square stop is shut down, as is the Longfellow bridge. Shuttle buses are taking people from Central to Charles MGH. Most of the buildings in the square don't have power.

ETA: Apparently the Kendall Square stop is working again and the red line is running as normal. Thanks, Ron Newman.

thank you so much for this post! I was just on my way to an appointment and am now taking an alternate route so as not to be late.

Looks like One Broadway, 5th-ish floor. Or at least that's what it looks like from where I'm sitting. The excitement's over though, I just see busted out windows.

Boston.com is reporting (http://www.boston.com/news/globe/city_region/breaking_news/2006/12/reports_of_30_p.html)
that all inside have been evacuated, with injuries limited to smoke inhalation.

During the noon news, WBZ-TV4 reported that Red Line service had resumed.

That's what all the commotion was. I work at One Kendall Sq, and heard a whole bunch of sirens a little while ago.

I was like "gee, that's an awful lot of ambulances!".

Seems like one person is dead.
