Boats flip in the Charles, sending four people into the water
At least two boats flipped over in the Charles River near the BU Sailing Pavilion and the BU Bridge around 5:50 p.m., sending four people into the water. Responding Boston firefighters and state troopers found them sitting atop one of the overturned boats and were able to get them to shore.

Here are the slides from today's public meeting about #MemorialDrive, with a list of short-term improvements they're planning to make to the dangerous rotary. They were also collecting input on what people would want out of a long-term solution.

So like a nutter I went back to the bridges and tried again. I played a bit with the scene contrast with a piece of cardboard while taking the photo and decided to go black and white this time. #BostonMA #BUBridge #BlackAndWhitePhotography #NightPhotography #UniversalHub
Probably my best photo of the bridges. #BostonMA #BUBridge #CharlesRiver #NightPhotography #Reflection #UniversalHub
I also tried black and white on some photos around the bridges. #BostonMA #BUBridge #BlackAndWhitePhotography #NightPhotography #UniversalHub
So I went back last night and reshot the location with a different lens and a slightly different position and … I don’t know. I still think it’s technically competent but doesn’t work as a photo. Sigh again. #BostonMA #BUBridge #NightPhotography #Night #CharlesRiver #UniversalHub
So a few years ago I took a night photo of the bridges and walkway from roughly this spot and wasn’t happy with the photo. So I decided to go back there recently and take another photo and guess what, I’m not happy with this either. I’m thinking the better photo involves me standing on the water in the middle of the Charles. Sigh. #BostonMA #BUBridge #NightPhotography #CharlesRiver #UniversalHub
