Incredible pics. When did this happen?
I'm a construction mgr and will print and post these in my office. Are you sure this was excavated? It almost looks like a main line failure. I dont see any remnants of the backhoe or trackhoe at the site. If it was an excavated fracture, the guy on the equipment must have crapped his pants just before he caught fire. WOW!

A 9mm might expand but a .45 will never shrink enough to fit 17 in the magazine.

Digging at that exact spot wasn't such a hot idea. Got to remember to take accurate measurements and lots of photos. I suppose it's too much to assume the poor sod got away with only fried eyebrows.

Wow, thats impressive. I'm going to go with a line failure too, the hole doesnt look like it was dug at all, plus no equipment is seen anywhere.

Nothing like dying, being cremated, and having your ashes spread all in one shot, or would that be all in one boom?
