    Default 7200V + log truck = disaster

    Apparently this happened near a place called Mill Creek in Washington State.
    I think the pics tell it all.

    [EDIT]Some Extra Info I picked up on the Arborist Site Forum
    This happened Wednesday, July 23rd 2008, out in Mill Creek , WA.
    The driver was attempting to throw the logging cable over the logs to secure them.
    As you can see, he hooked the electric line instead!
    He said the tires began to fry within seconds. A very lucky man he could easily have been fried himself!
    Thanks to Sam Latham at Broad River Energy Center for sharing this information.

    At least anyone buying the timber can be assured that it's been dried.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    That's a cinch-line thrown over the power line?

    Or did the driver have a flat battery and threw a jumper cable...
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
