Ever seen cast iron pipe split like this?

A blockage in my main drain line out on Friday under basement floor lead to 48 hours of attempting to clear it. This morning I noticed a wet spot on carpet after trying to flush pipe with hot water. Pulled up carpet and found water seeping up through concrete. Uh oh. Busted through concrete and found a section of cast iron pipe split lengthwise. Split has obviously been there a very long time..split was at the bottom of the pipe

These three pieces were one piece before cutting. I’m baffled how this split could happen

Color is blue because this happened in my man cave music studio :-)








What a pain in the ass. I hate plumbing issues. Disgusting and exhausting.
