Steam Pipe Break 2017



The video was shot when a underground steam pipe broke under the streets of downtown Pittsburgh in 2017. This pipe fed steam into several buildings in downtown to use for steam heat. The steam filled the streets so much it was difficult to see car lights let a lone people walking on sidewalks or worse crossing the street. I wanted to do this live and had several people share it so if you were coming into town you were aware of the dangers.

MARTELLO / 18RICCO I HEARD IT WAS -4 DEGREES ON DEC. 23RD 2022, SO I WANTED TO GO THE THE RIVER IN DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH TO PHOTOGRAPH AND VIDEO TAPE ONE OF THEM. THE WIND WAS BLOWING CRAZY THROUGH OUT THE CITY, HOWEVER NOT AS STRONG OR AS COLD AS IT WAS BY THE ALLEGHENY RIVER. AS SOON AS I GOT BY THE BRIDGE YOU COULD FEEL THE DIFFERENCE HOW STRONG AND COLD IT WAS. I WAS AMAZED BY THE SITE OF THE RIVER DUE TO THE HIEGHT, SPEED AND DIRECTING OF THE WAVES. I HAVE BEEN BY THE RIVER IN ALL TIMES OF THE YEAAR AND NEVER HAVE I SEEN THIS.
