Hi, thought you’d like these. A major fire in a scrap yard outside Bournemouth, England
 burnt down both circuits of the 132KV line feeding the town.
 First circuit was back in as a temporary within 13 hours of the fire starting,
 final repairs took 6 days.
No injuries, two broken ridge tiles on a garage roof and a twisted windshield wiper.
 The suspension tower amazed us all.
Only designed to support one broken wire, this baby was doing really well.
No deformation at all.
