Let's punch a hole in heavy metal piping filled with gas. What could possibly go wrong !!!!!!
Reminds me of the idiots who got fried trying to steal the copper from electric lines that they knew were live wires.
That's easy, they nationalized their oil industry in 1938.

The cultural bias against foreign oil companies is heavily ingrained in the Mexican psyche, and past congresses that have considered such offerings from Mexican chief executives have always found themselves under great public pressure to vote against them.
The history behind the nationalization of the Mexican oil industry has been taught to every generation of Mexico’s school children since the 1930s as a story of great national pride and liberation from American imperialism.
As such, the action has almost as sentimental a place in Mexico’s national mindset as the Mexican Revolution, and thus always becomes a very steep hill for Mexican policymakers to overcome. (A very good example of how this history is taught can be found here.)
Mexico became the first country to nationalize its oil industry and create a national oil company (today known as PEMEX) in 1938. The action was taken by then-President Lorenzo Cardenas when foreign oil companies operating in Mexico chose to defy a Mexican Supreme Court decision that came after decades of bitter labor disputes and strikes that had rendered the mostly marginal (at that time) Mexican oil fields near-uneconomic, despite the extremely low wages paid to Mexican oil field workers.
The government seized the oil companies’ assets, forced them to leave the country, and offered compensation that the companies considered to be inadequate.
