The menu said there's a valve right here that they did not hit.
01:11
It should be able to just so they didn't set it off.

I copy that.

I was speaking with the engineer and that's not the same thing.

He said there's a valve right where you're standing and there's another one down Jackson.

They both have to be shut down because this is a looping main fed from both directions.
