All comments about Comcast's business reputation aside, it's good that someone was there to save people in time of crisis.
Kudos to them  |

Comcast can't buy this kind of press. They should give those guys a huge bonus. |

Comcast has really nothing to do with this IMHO.
They were just people in the right place. Just about anyone could have done the same.

Huntington Beach, CA | But Comcast can try to attach themselves to this by rewarding them. I'm just talking about how Comcast can use this situation to their advantage for + press for Comcast-the company. |

By the same token Comcast had nothing to do with a tech drilling into a gas line. It was the own techs poor planning and judgement. As a person who makes mistakes.
But the tech didnt get the PR, his company did. Along with the myriad of other articles damming Comcast.
So a group of techs do something good.. and its no longer a reflection on the company but on the individual.
How f#%$ing typical.
What a sad world most people live in.

Techs drilling holes to get their jobs done is part of their job, saving lives is not part of their job.

It goes to Comcast as a company when there is a pattern, like
»Comcast Contractor Held For Double Murder
»Napping Comcast Tech Fired
»The Phantom Comcast Install Order
»The Cable Guy Blew Up My Powerbook
»No Ground? Exploding Dishwasher
»Botched Comcast Install Blows Up House
Perhaps now after a Comcast tech help rescue victims in the Minneapolis bridge collapse and now the fire, they can turn the neg stereotype of their techs around. Perhaps if a Comcast tech cures cancer and brings Democracy to Cuba, people will have good feelings about Comcast. |

Comcast will probably fire the brave employees because of insurance liability issues, taking time off their busy schedule without prior authorization, doing a good job outside of their job description, using company equipment not related to work, and suspecting them of being illegal immigrants. Wait a minute, those guys weren't Comcast employees, they were subcontractors. |

This is classic;

Why does it have to be "COMCAST EMPLOYEE'S" how about 3 individuals, or 3 citizens, who came to the rescue, Comcast doesn't care about the people , only people care about people.. |
