12
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:44.159
<v Speaker 2>weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. And it's also technically the first

13

17
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.240

18
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 1>yesterday and the day before were perfect warm, but not

19
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>so much that you're dying, like, can't go outside it's

20
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>so hot. Yeah, a lot of summer fun also in

<v Speaker 1>the forecast.

22
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:08.799
<v Speaker 3>Summer is just getting started, so I'm sure there will

23
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 3>be some camping and road tripping in between.

24
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.480

<v Speaker 2>weekend of headaches on the Pike. Lane closures once again

00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>on the Pike eastbound and westbound all weekend long, beginning tonight,

37
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>as Mass doc Cruise continue to work on the NBTA

38
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 2>Railroad bridge between exits one twenty three and one twenty

39
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.159
<v Speaker 2>five that's Newton in Weston. Only one lane of travel

40
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 2>is getting by in both directions. This happened, you remember

41
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.599
<v Speaker 2>a few weeks ago, So make sure you give yourself

42
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 2>plenty of time this weekend. On the Pike. Several boat

43
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 2>owners and Charlestown are demanding answers after they spent the

44
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 2>day cleaning up from a fireworks display. Several boats were

45
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>damaged by the ashes that fell from the pyrotechnics from

46
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 2>the Battle of Bunker Hill commemoration ceremony. Several boats were

47
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 2>blanketed with soot and they've yet to get any answers

48
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 2>about who's responsible if any equipment needs to be replaced.

49
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 2>And it was fifty years ago today, June twenty, nineteen

50
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 2>seventy five, the official release of Jaws. Wbz's Drew moholland

51
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>telling us even the makers of the film had no

52
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 2>idea what it was about to be.

53
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.960
<v Speaker 4>A legendary shark thriller directed by Steven Spielberg, hit theaters

54
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 4>on this day fifty years ago. The movie has had

55
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 4>documentaries made about it, books, and has even hit Broadway.

56
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 4>The latest form at the theater was The Shark Is Broken,

57
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 4>a play about the behind the scenes chaos and the

58
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 4>filming of Jaws off Martha's Vineyard. I spoke with the

59
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.560
<v Speaker 4>director of The Shark Is Broken, Guy Masterson, who tells

60
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 4>me about the infamous Broken Shark and the actor as well,

61
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 4>not exactly loving their time together.

62
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>And they're at the mercy of being called when the

63
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>shoot is right.

64
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 3>And of course some days when the Shark didn't work,

65
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:11.719
<v Speaker 3>they were there all day without shooting.

66
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>And then when the vinid has got a bit pissed

67
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 1>off with them, you know, being there for so long.

68
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 4>Is that true?

69
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

70
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely?

71
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, nobody liked anybody at that time, But nobody

72
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 3>knew what Jees was going to be. That's the whole

73
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 3>thing is.

74
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 4>And Jaws was really something, wasn't it. This summer there

75
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 4>are dozens of Jaws fiftieth events for fans. By the way,

76

109
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.040
<v Speaker 1>That's a nine day period. And we started this last

110
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.319
<v Speaker 1>year because we found that just looking at the July

111
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 1>fourth weekend wasn't really giving us a good picture of

112
