The double posting is occurring on all the sites.
The contractor adding a new branch to the 12" main by our shop on campus opened the main valve full bore to test. One of his guys was standing IN THE TRENCH next to the new connections and caps. No kickers were installed yet.
A few of us asked aloud "Hey, dude, shouldn't you get out of there while testing?"
He said "Nah, nothin to worry about, it should be fine."
Then BOOM! Connection failed right below his feet, shot a blast of water up about 20 feet and knocked him on his butt.
Soaked and embarrassed he was helped out from coworkers and just walked away...lucky for him.
'I told you so' was on the tip of every ones tongues.
Pics would be a nice addition to your post Cad!
I fully understand the union mentality now, I will go into depth later.
