It seemed to me that had he hit the 240V line, sparks (or something)

Not if he cut the neutral or ground.

Open up the hole and see what he did.

I agree. Instead of all this theory, he should look where changes
were made.

I ddin't undderstand the story about the electrician, but drilling
without seeing where the drill will come out sounds, I don't know,
risky?
