Sometime in July 1999, we lost the T1 (at my
last place of employ) because someone with an
auger did this behind the building:

...realized what they'd done, *buried* it and
didn't report it. It took hours to locate and
even more hours to repair (which is what the
photo is really of - the Bell Repair Tech
working on the 2 mangled trunks of lines)...
The worst was that it occured within a 2-week
time period that also included a transformer
explosion (worker being reckless with a fork
lift, apparently) at a major downtown CO (all
lines in a big chunk of downtown Toronto were
unavailable all day) and a condo construction
site cutting a smaller line, which only
affected some lines in the building where I
worked at the time, including my previous
employer's T1...
Mercury was retrograde, too!
