Holy shite, I take it back. Still stay off the phones in traffic but how the frick does this happen?

quote:

BATON ROUGE – Morning-long gridlock caused by a truck that pulled down utility lines across I-12 continued into Friday afternoon and police were not sure as to when the interstate would be opened.

I-12 closed at Essen Lane around 9:30 Friday when the lines toppled onto the highway. A truck, police said, pulled them down after the rig and the lines got tangled together. It was unclear if the truck was too high, the lines too low or what other snafu might have caused the issue but police said it happened on a surface street along I-12 off Essen.

Other than the high tension transmission lines, why so many parts of BR and NOLA still have low hanging lines for residential , boggles the mind....2 words: underground lines, study it and get back to the general populace in 20 or so years after some well placed cronys get rich

It's gotta be the lines. The clearance on the Essen overpass is lower than the lines IIRC.

Well, considering those lines existed in that location much longer than the truck, i'd say the truck was too high.
