Thanks to Marquis Solomon for passing along this story of a ruptured natural gas line that ignited yesterday afternoon in Columbia, South Carolina as workers tried to deal with the line while firefighters stood by.

Tony Santaella, WLTX-TV:

Wednesday afternoon, a crew working at the intersection of Sumter and Richland Streets ruptured a gas line. Hours later, an SCE&G crew was using a track hoe to repair the line when something caused the line to ignite.

In the video, you can see two employees quickly get away from the scene. Second later, Columbia firefighters begin dousing the area with water.

No one was hurt.
