Tremont Street Flood Drenches Boston District
A massive burst of water on Tremont and adjacent streets floods shops, theatres, and basements. Pedestrians and workers, including John Gallagher and Officer Miller, are swept or saved as pumps and emergency crews manage the torrent. Citizens wade, taxi drivers ferry, and stores flood while traffic detours form around Washington Eliot and Lagrange streets.
