Most of us call the One Call to be sure that you don't mess up underground utilities. However, I suspect they don't have good information on the location of NYC Underground Subways. This picture showed up while I was watching Fox news this morning. Sure looks like a hollow stem auger that managed to drill through the ceiling of a subway.
