    Happening all over USA. I deer hunt in Southern Ohio! The family I stay with has an adult son with no legs. Give ya one guess what he tried to scrap that had 15,000 volts still running thru it. These people are wonderful and don't get me wrong. But they make the men in the "Deliverence" movie look good. LOL Now for the best part! He was electricuted and lost both legs and a few fingers. He and family get $2200 in disability checks for him monthly and his sister get paid by state to care for him daily. No shi******. A friggin scrapper gets fried and we pay. They throw a rope over the power line with a hook on it. Tied it to tge PU truck and down came the line! He got out of truck with cable cutter and the rest is history.

    Photos of a bridge, doesn't equal authorization to dismantle and haul in.

    Authorization paperwork, contracts, etc can get that.
