Another Power of Electricity video

That is some footage!

Everyone in the area was in danger. Imagine the underground lines running to yard lights, sheds, etc. that were energized.
 
Wow, what a blast from the past, I grew up off Moore Rd, Hartford Co., about 1 1/2 mile from where this happened. Had been working for a small company in the area when this happen. These lines were from the PeachBottom Plant in lower Pennsylvania. Shut the area down for about 2 weeks, as they had some heavy repairs. So long ago, I don't remember if anyone was injuried.
Liked the lacrosse goal in the forground. In Harford Co, kids didn't play baseball, we played lacrosse.
 
Reminds me of the ice storm of 97 in the ADK area when the lines started to go at trees and ice wieghed them down. My only question about that is why did the power compnay not shut down that grid of power? Here where I live if anything happens to the lines or poles they shut down the whole power grid till it is fixed (pats the gennerator good ole buddy).
