Today's backhoe incident involved a 24 inch natural gas pipeline.
10 people with minor injuries.
There is some dispute between the excavation company and the
pipeline operator whether the pipeline was properly marked or
of the backhoe was operating in the marked area with due care.
State officials are investigating.

And a 20+ story building condemned as the result of the fire that ensued.
The property loss on this is in the MANY millions of dollars.

Yep.
Early reports are that the backhoe never was closer than 8' from the markers.
Whether that is accurate, or whether the markers were 8' off (!) is a matter
of debate right now.

Was this the story I saw on the news in Cleveland about the gas line explosion
in Chicago? The Chicago incident was blamed on a construction crew.
Amazing. This is now two serious incidents in the space of a couple months.
I ain't even *authorized* to speak for anyone other than myself, so give
up now on trying to associate my words with any particular organization.
Karl, did you sell MCS? 
Yes it was. Answered my own question; for some reason I couldn't pull up
the CNN page earlier today.
