[QUOTE="FroggF350, post: 151062, member: 333"] I thought about it after I posted that, and figured u meant fence post holes. A crew i used to work on was replacing a pole in Alpharetta Ga. They had locates indate, but the gas line wasn't marked. They were boring out the same whole from the old pole and the gas line was right next to the old pole. The line truck digger derrick cut the gas main and sprayed gas up above the bucket in the air. He was holding the wire up while the crew replaced the pole. He moved the bucket to get out of the gas stream and when he did the wire sparked and ignited the gas. He was in the middle of a 30 foot flame thrower for about 20-30 seconds. It was so hot the bucket immediately melted off from the boom and he was hanging by his harness in the flame until his lanyard burned off and when he hit the ground both femer bones went through his lungs. He lived for a few weeks, but the infection finally got the best of him. [/QUOTE]
