I wish I had one. I just got the pics in an email titled "call before you dig"

No story was included.

Natural gas line maybe?
:dunno:
Who ever hit it is long gone!

 

[Art Triggs]

hmmmmm..... that couldn't have been good, if someone was digging it looks like they got vaporized, wow.

 

[FlexdXJ]

Yikes! I wonder if it involved the words Hey Y'all watch this?:dunno: Either way it had to be ugly!

Looks more like an Exploder to me. No pun intended. :shhh:






Also looks to me like the pipe exploded underground, and showered the place with dirt.

Yeah, but all the grass is gone and it looks like the ground was plowed up...that'd have to be a hell of a blast to churn the ground for several hundred yards...

Reckon it got a little warm there.

 

[karstic]

OOph!

I wonder how it happened there doesn't appear to be any equipment (Drill rig, back hoe, excavator) near the rupture.

 

[Lowrange2]

Yeah, it's in the wooded area over in the back of the picture...

 

[Art Triggs]

If it was an underground leak it would explain the hole and the carnage, I sure would like to know what the rest of the story was.

 

[DrMoab]

I think I found it.

Anybody notice that the steel shed and awning is the only building left that seems salvageable?

Must be a Jeeper.

Screw the house make sure the garage is indestructible!

 

[bjoehandley]

Now that I'm away enough to think about it, atleast the shed makers are telling the truth in their claims of fire resistance:yelclap:
