Holy chit, I though I had some bad experiences with hitting stuff in the ground.

I have had people hit gas lines ( not nearly as big as that one), hit the main underground electric in town shutting down the courthouse and the jail, along with everything for 5 square city blocks.

Shoot!!! my company flows that much through a tiny line. We are on a medium gather system that a 10" will flow 15,000 mcfd with good compression.
