This is a very good example of a worse case scenario.
You may or may not know about the law requiring you call for utility locating before you do any excavation.
The pictures below are a result of a guy using a post hole digger with out calling for
"locates" and he hit an underground, high-pressure cross country gas pipe.
They never did find the guy???. Took out 2 homes.
