What about rotovating through a power cable, and knocking out all the street lights on a job we had to do at night on a bypass.

 

in fairness though it was only 6 inches below the ground:thumbdown:..... I'm not sure how we missed it with the digger, coz we dug out a load of stumps before we hit it with the rotovator:confused1:

A long time ago, in a far off place.....the bosses brother in law was helping us out on a job digging out the root of a tree we had dismantled. We dug a large pit around the roots, attached the 4WD and then slowly but surely pulled the stump while cutting the roots one by one. The brother in law grabbed a hold of one root and ran the bow saw through it forwards. Turns out it wasn't a root but the main service cable to the house. Fortunately, because the guy had run the saw in a forward motion rather than backwards, he had put the nose of the saw into the earth as he cut through the line saving him from either shock or something worse. It melted the the blade on the saw though. Turns out the cable had been buried about a foot below ground level.
