Death to "disarm" tower

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

I like reading the local news. This one should qualify for a Darwin Award

so this dumb shit is steeling metal from the legs of this power tower. he has a nice pile of metal all ready to go to the scrapper for a few extra bucks. he takes just one more piece, the tower collapses, he gets cooked! the wires on the falling tower pulls down one down.

side note: it was 7:30 in evening and power for the city goes down ... only two gas stations have generators... a good business day for them!
