They are lucky it was just water in that pipe.

Jordan 09-01-2010 03:32 PM

I saw a goof ball in Exxon Refinery drive over a blown out water main & it picked up the back end of the truck:eek:

I saw one like that back home once. The bad part was that it was shooting straight up in the air...The part even worse than that is that it was turning to ice as soon as it landed!!! 10PM, 15deg and those poor souls had to go stand in thigh deep water trying to get it capped off!

One retard in a work truck almost drove over it, he backed up and drove through it on the road. Friggin' morons

that happened at my parents house on there corner right after Katrina but it sprayed under the street intersection but flooded the street. Funny part was when construction pulled up with f250 pulling trailer with tractor the street gave way and truck dropped! All you saw was tailgate! They came out so quick and had to use tractor to pull it out. Truck was brand new!

Man it was hilarious! That was the fastest I have ever seen city workers move! You heard a pop and the truck dropped.
