- In a Tempe neighborhood last week, a semi-truck hit a low-hanging communications cable that brought down several utility poles, one of which fell into a swimming pool full of children.
These things need to go underground!!!
you'd be suprised how expensive new electrical work like that costs
@@JazzyGazzy-nj8rn i dont give a crap they are going underground now it's the law
@@JazzyGazzy-nj8rn Yep. My brother is a "3rd generation" employee at our local electric utility company. I always see comments like this from people who don't ever seem to think about the cost. "Oh, just make the utility company pay for it." Good idea, utility companies have those trees that grow money. I've been asking for one of those trees for years, but no luck yet. I agree with leechjim8023, but the cost will come out of customers pockets and also taxpayers if the companies get state/federal funding.
@@JazzyGazzy-nj8rnthat’s actually not true at all it’s cheaper to put them underground. It protects them from the elements and people. I’m a lineman we are running lines underground to help prevent lines from constantly coming down from weather, fires or people.
The govt is very good at regulating people; not so good at regulating themselves.
@jeffdavies2824
Even tho those lines isn't owned by the government.
Those lines are owned by a private company.
@@NextNate03 Still, the regulations and standards are set by the govt. The contracted companies don't (or shouldn't) decide how high the wires or birdges are. That information is shared nationally for the sake of long haul truckers planning their routes.
Bro that's crazy good luck those were phone lines going in the pool
Standard cable provider Standards. Unskilled laborers, workers who don't care about quality are at fault!
Any line is supposed to be at minimum 14' most places. It's sad to see lines hanging and poles leaning.
This almost stopped my heart!!
Code is 13'6'' tore down many doing household, work in utility buzz for years nobody follows code ,
They ought sue cox and city truck is at right. Cox out be put out business
Maybe find loophole & a Class action lawsuit for impeding on a property owners air space maybe the height requirement for air space of 14’ that should be height requirement for utility or power lines (every state is different in height above property belonging to owner but lawsuits create change to regulations. 🙏
That's terrifying. I have also seen lines just a foot off the ground up on Juniper Flats near Tombstone. Is that not a fire hazard?
Theres about 25 landlines left in the entire country and those kids were lucky enough that it was a phone line and not a power line. Woah. The odds on that have to be just astronomical.
It's the electric companies fault
The electric company made the CDL drivers to hit the lines?!?!
😂
Truck drivers supposed to pay attention to anything that is low hanging or low clearance.
@@NextNate03 yes they hung the lines too low it's on them
Rare coincidence, let’s just re engineer an entire system. Wake up man who’s paying for this new expenditure?
2:10 - “…mantain them.” What? MANtain? English, please.
She's probably a Misandrist
1:48 actually no my guy, that truck has no business in a residential area. The construction and infrastructure is not, NOT built for it to be there.
Actually if it has a delivery there then it is allowed to be there by law. Even when there's a no truck sign, if you have a manifest showing a delivery there you won't even get a ticket.
If there were fetuses in the pool, the wires would've been fixed right away LOL
A Semi should not be in a residential neighborhood.
Maybe he was an LTL carrier making a residential deliver . Regardless the should have been at least 14 feet high .
Some warehouses where semis go are in residential neighborhoods
Two things that could of prevented this. 1. Power line was to low they do sag with high temperatures. 2. The condition on that pole looks like it should of been replaced years ago. Wires over roads are supposed to be at least 14 feet high. Standard LTL trailers are 13ft 6 inches.
G.P.S sent the truck there
@@michaelbell117 I am a truck driver but don't follow the GPS blindly, but just maybe he had a delivery there, regardless the lines were not proper height
Thank god the lines powered down before they hit that pool. (I assume they snapped)
fiber doesnt carry power while coax doesnt really carry power at all if there was phone lines i cant remember the exact voltage but itw would be low voltage
😂😂😂
semi's should never be allowed in a residential neighborhood
Yet older warehouses are sometimes in or near residential areas
@@HansGugel-hw4tn maybe they should of been forced down there SHOULD NOT be semis in a neighborhood where children might be playing
@@dawn1berlitz blame the power company not a semi
@@HansGugel-hw4tn the lines that was snagged wasnt even power it was lines belonging to cox
@@dawn1berlitz ok blame cox then but not the driver of the try
That happened in my neighborhood in Akron Ohio. Only the semi took down high power lines and we were without power for 2 days. Ripped the power meter off the wall
Why is the semi in the neighborhood?
Making a delivery obviously 🤦♂️I'm a local delivery truck driver and I make deliveries to home owners all the time in short and long trailers for the company I work for. Totally legal.
