Dumb by Default  Power Line Incident  7/03/08: New Hampshire — Busy road closed after crane snags power line

Photos

This is the 29th AVOIDABLE incident reported to this site this year in which power lines were involved. There were 46 incidents reported to this site in 2007, 36 in 2006, 38 in 2005, 41 in 2004, 60 in 2003, 33 in 2002 and 35 in 2001. Again, all were avoidable. Just don't work cranes near energized power lines.

Power line contact is the most frequent cause of crane accidents, yet they are the easiest to prevent. LOOK up and live!
