Fortunately I've developed a phobia to crowbars so I'm unlikely to experience the thrill of hitting electrical cables. That's one I'm very glad to say I've not experienced. Though back in the 70's I was fortunate enough to see a backhoe dig up the main defence dept land line from Brisban to Townsvile. Didn't it hit the fan that day
Fortunately it had nothing to do with the job I was working on.
