These pictures are a result of mechanical post hole digging without calling for "locater service". The employee hit an underground high pressure cross country gas pipe. The employee digging still has not been found.
Notice the point of contact was in the "middle of nowhere" of which some of your contractors may have used this very phrase.
Good example of why we need to assure contractors obtain proper digging permits, including a call first to the local utility locating service at all times without taking anything for granted!

Scorched earth policy?
That was one heck of a "boo boo" Joe. Was anyone hurt ? Was this local ? Where was it ? Why was the digging being done ?
Wherever it was I guarantee that the same person won't make the mistake again.
That person won't be making ANY mistakes at all. That person was vaporized.
Do you think the missing worker is requesting "Suspicious Minds" or "In the Ghetto" from Elvis right now?
Holy Crap!
KABOOM!
Holy crap is right.
Holy Cow patties Batman!
