    headline does not match the text. Headline says "power line tower". Text says "cell tower". Which is it? Did they fire all the old, white editors?

    So in addition to the hospital bill, he's liable for the replacement transformer cost (one would hope).
    He should've claimed the Darwin Award.

    I’m guessing cell towers Don’t carry 57k volts. Common sense is a really good thing to have. Just sayin
