[quote]Just out of curiousity here, was this a HomeLine series breaker?[\quote]
err ya what did I type.
It's not like this circuit had loose connections all over. I have seen copper burn before and aluminum burn for 40 feet.
Yes, it did go bad immediatly after he worked on it. But still could not nail it down to what he did or why it did not burn downstairs.
This short was between the hot and nuetral not ground.Sitting here looking at some of the receptacles there is no sign of damage to any of the devices. Only to the wiring.

I just didn't think u could get as that size of copper that hot that fast. When on a properly sized breaker. It sounds like it was doing the buzz,, short circuiting for some time, how about longer then usual....
maybe the homeowner just did something and is refusing to tell me. He could have tried to fix it himself somewhat befor I arrived and did a cover up.
