I did have a fiber break in the street Manhatten due to a "steam leak". Took out 48 strands. Paul Perry E. Metzger wrote:

When they got out there, they found that he was digging right next to train tracks, was inches from cutting a high voltage power line that surely would have killed him, and was also fairly close to a gas line.Here in Manhattan, we don't get lines cut by digging, for obvious reasons. On the other hand, most places don't have to worry about cladding fiber to resist rats... Perry
