   The Washington Post had some great photos of a house with every   
   outlet and switch blown out of the walls.   
      
   Seems there was a FIOS installer trenching there when it   
   happened. The WP didn't say, but from the imagery, I suspect   
   they crossed the 34KV feed to the pictured pad-mount transformer   
   with its 240/120 output.   
      
   It was news because Verizontal refused to pay; saying it   
   was the contractor's fault not theirs.
