I've seen something not quite that dangerous but still pretty bad in downtown Toronto and I was quite amazed. One of those partially in-ground transformer boxes with the lids removed. What really got me about it is that it seemed that I was the only person that thought that this was kind of dangerous, everybody else thought it was just fine. And those things are old and in a crappy state of maintenance, enough so that they blow up with alarming regularity and when they do they spout flaming oil around them. You wouldn't get me to go near one.
