The Beech Mountain hydrant burst
Beech Mountain Resort, Beech Mountain, North Carolina
A skier hit a snowmaking hydrant on 7 January 2022 and took the cap off it. What came out went straight up into the chairlift overhead, which then stopped, leaving people sitting in it in seven degree weather with nowhere to go. Some of them jumped the twenty five feet down onto the snow. Two were taken to hospital, and the state issued no citations afterwards.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
