Kids looking for riches find something unexpected

In the Tampa-Riverview area, some teens were looking for some riches that they heard in a tale that a boy claimed to have buried under a bridge, so they went looking for them. While digging, they didn't find the riches, but they found something else instead. It was far from what they were looking for though. They struck and broke an ammonia pipeline, and one got serious burns on his body. Also the area was shut down for quite some time.

The boys are now either facing criminal charges or have a good chance of facing them it appears. That is a very costly mistake that they in no way meant to do. After looking for treasure, the situation turned ugly real fast. The originator of the story is no longer alive to question, but there is most like no treasure buried there anyways. I feel sorry for the boys involved in this exploration.
