The T’s big embarrassment of the week has been the leaks at newly renovated Government Center. There’s a much more minor leak at Forest Hills.
An incident Tuesday night in which a long metal panel fell off a Forest Hills-bound Orange Line train, producing acrid smoke and leading passengers to push out windows to escape, has prompted T officials to add new inspections to the regular maintenance of the aging fleet.
UPDATE: The T will increase safety checks in the wake of the incident.
