That was too painful to watch. The camera woman actually sat there for almost 15 mins. watching and filming that whole disaster? I'ld've gone for help, and tried recruiting some-one more proficient, while the hackmaster fought with mess he opened up. Wonder if a big pair of Vise-grips clamped on that supply line would've slowed it down, while he got it turned off correctly.
