Ow the pain!
 

Owww, the pain!!!!!!!!!

This is what happened in Vancouver, Canada when a contractor did not measure correctly before drilling 6 steel rods into the side of an imbankment for support. They drilled into 7 cables, which contained over 23,000 pairs and 144 fibers. It took 8 days 24/7 to repair the damage.

Ugh.... nightmares!

I used to work for BT years ago - loads of sudden major failures were due to JCB's digging up cables.

Wonder if they'd used shielded rods would this of reduced cross talk?
