Sounds like a 2, not moving the needle.
I think the old risk matrix is why this type of event happens.

And the AER would crucify you with this thinking. It would not be a low. Financial impact is huge. Tough to quantify but huge. It’s no one’s fault other than budgeting. We had a failure due to gravity. Didn’t impact anyone, just a fart of gas before esds kicked in. We now do geotechnical assessments of any line in a slope, drone mapping, depth of cover. Pinned to the wall because of a design flaw 40 years ago. Pipe fails and the entire city gets emergency texts, that keeps me up at night if I was the person responsible.2 not a chance 2.
