That is still, you know, categorically not exploding like a gas line, which, you know, in recent memory blew an entire neighborhood of 38 homes off the map. Hitting a buried line with a backhoe is unpleasant enough, sure, but you're not destroying dozens of buildings in one go.

And there are huge explosions on record as you point out. An electric line is not even in the same category. Any comparison is silly and ignorant.
