This happened Wednesday, July 23rd, out by the airport in Jackson, TN. The driver was attempting to throw the logging cable over the logs to secure them & as you can see, hooked the electric line instead! He said the tires began to fry within seconds…..very lucky man…he could easily have been fried himself! Thanks to Sam Latham at Broad River Energy Center for sharing this information.
Bizarre for sure. I wonder if he actually threw the cable that high up or if the current from the line pulled it up. Electricity is strange like that. You would think that he threw it too high since the hook has secured onto the line itself. Nonetheless a very fortunate person. Would've bought a lottery ticket after that.
