Somehow, it is more than appropriate that this happens in DiBlasio's New York. Guy lights match in science lab to check for leak. It's like a Wil E Coyote cartoon.

I’m curious to know who the contractor was and who was working for them.
You wouldn’t believe what goes on down there with the building trades.

What an idiot. Obviously not someone who works for the gas company, or is a gas certified plumber.

I was in the trades for three years before I found out that “F##kinarchitect” was two words.

And to think we use “soap bubbles” to test for leaky joints. That, and a sense of smell or electronic sniffers. Never thought of using fire to check for leaks in a flammable circuit. No WONDER union nimrods look down on us lowly unaffiliated tradesmen.

I learned many years ago the old saying: Those who can, do; those who cannot, supervise/engineer/unionize.

This is what happens when we have companies hiring people who are not best qualified.

There’s a terminal out in the country we drive past where I think that stuff is injected. You can smell it for a mile around depending on the wind direction. Don’t know how the few folks living in the area can stand it.
