Ladder blamed in death plunge of Hub woman
Boston state fire officials conclude a Boston Fire Department aerial ladder caused the collapse of a fifth story balcony, sending 20 year old Dianna M. Bryant to her death as firefighter Robert ONeill attempted to guide her and her godchild Tiara Jones to safety. The gasoline set fire, and investigators say the balcony collapsed due to ladder impact rather than rust or fire. The probe, with four hearings, notes the need for roof access on all five balconies and a second firefighter guide for ladder operation.

Executives switch from rail to comfort laden bus commute
About 30 top businessmen from Southport and Westport tried a month on a Greyhound bus labeled America with card tables legroom and a liquor locker to mirror private rail service. The bus drops riders near Manhattan offices and would cost about $71 000 a year for a 30 seat fleet, with 40 potential riders sharing expenses. Commuters in New Jersey explore the option as companies consider using buses as mobile offices and a move that could pressure rail cars to be roomier.

Audubon backs wood as Maine energy source
The Maine Audubon Society trustees and assistant director William Ginn advocate wood energy over nuclear options. They cite Wood energy boosts Maine jobs, cites Georgia Pacific’s Woodland facility generating 57 percent of its electricity from waste wood, and urge the state to study wood’s potential while promoting energy efficiency through insulation, tax breaks, and low interest loans.
