I am looking at this piece of pipe:

and the clean end suggests to me that the entire weld failed. What do
our resident pipe weldors say? Steve? Private?


Couldn't have been a bad weld. This was around San Fran so there is no
way the welder could have be using DC "straight" polarity. (That's a
joke...get it?)

But seriously: The possibility of sabotage exists. They have an
amazing number of nuts out there in Cali.
