Wow, that was a high ass flow for a fire hydrant. They must be right on the main. It took them a long time to shut that secondary valve box. It must have had alot of crud and garbage in it.
I ran over a fire hydrant. People were coming out f their houses to watch the water. A couple of people were recording it...watch...in a few days its going to be on youtube *is mortified*
It bruises to stay under the water?
waahhh...i feel bad now. And there I was complaining about how long it was taking them to turn off the water...
Let me tell you, that water hurts, falling from that high up. I worked for a city water department, and we got called out all the time for drunks hitting hydrants. You can't stand under it for too long, you'll get bruised.
I believe you! If you search, there's a video clip here on YT where a crew has to work directly underneath the falling water. Looks extremely difficult.
so disappointed i read this as "cat vs fire hydrant" .. a cat being shot into the air would have been better

It can be very hard to breath when your right under flow of water, it sucks the oxygen out from that area.

Typical. Two guys to turn the valve, four guys to stand and watch.

I crashed my mountain bike into a fire hydrant today. I wonder how hard you have to hit it to destroy it.

That must have been frightening for you. How did you run over the hydrant?
