since when is it illegal to dig holes???

"We told him, 'You're done,"' said Montclair fire Capt. Rich Baldwin. "It's amazing no one got killed."

Authorities fenced off the property.

I would expect osha to shut it down but not the fire capt. Were they breaking digging fire codes? I bet there's zoning laws against it as well. More than likely; multiple violations.

China, bitch!  :tongue2:
When I was little me and my brother dug a hole Covered it with a blanket and made a hideout.  Then when we got tired of it my mom drove the suburban into it, caught the grass on fireand and the fire dept. came.  Yeah, we got our asses whipped. 

I'm sure it'd fall under mining codes of some sort.  After so many feet, there has to be some sort of support/bracing to protect against cave-ins.

after a certain depth it becomes pretty dangerous if the hole isnt shored
properly, there have been countless deaths where the shoring gave or it just
wasnt and the sides collapsed on the workers, it's almost impossible to escape
if your chest deep or more and the weight will pretty much crush you, imagine
being a rabbit in the grip of a 12' python, if you exhale, it's the last time.

the guy is lucky, they could have charged him with reckless endangerment or
even manslaughter if the walls did give way, not to mention having the deaths
of 2 workers, possibly friends on your concience

my brother and I started a swimming pool, for about 5 feet deep and 4 across.

thats also when I though the king of Georgia lived at Oglethorpe university

I have heard of that happening before and that would have to be a terrible way to go.

Being one who digs holes for a living I can tell you how dangerous they can be. There is no way in hell I'd go into a hole like that! Its absolutely suicidal!!

OSHA regulations are pretty strict on my jobsites. I dig a lot of sewers for new construction. Often times the holes are as much as 10-12 feet deep. Since we don't shore up the holes we have a very regulated formula we must dig by. From the bottom of the hole you can go straight up 5 feet. After that the ground must be stepped out like a staircase. 2 feet out, 2 feet up, repeat. This results in about 3 times as much digging as going straight down. If your 12 foot deep hole is 4 feet in diameter at the bottom it will be nearly 20 feet in diameter at the top!!

Heres a quick, crude illustration in case what I say makes no sense. The red section is the extra part you take out to please OSHA. And think of it in 3D terms...that hole goes out in all directions. Just imagine the pictures you've seen of open-pit mines and you get the idea.
