Narrative

EE was cleaning up the haul roads and opened an existing weep hole in the berm. When EE opened the weep hole, hit a 16"" natural gas line. When EE hit the gas line it stalled the engine on the dozer, and the pressure broke the glass out of the machine. The pressure was also throwing sand and gravel into the cab of the machine.
