The room was packed with angry residents who had a lot of questions after their homes and businesses were flooded near the Southern Beltway Turnpike construction project.
"None of us really want to be here tonight. None of us wanted these event to occur. So, the first thing I'm going to do is apologize," Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission Chief Engineer Brad Heigel said.
