Tens of millions of dollars of damage caused by lighting one single electricity pole on fire? I don't support destroying public property but that is amazing bang for your buck!
They did say it was a nine-figure electric pole… premium German engineering ;-)
They used the word "pylon" in the article, which I assumed (only) meant it was wooden. Turns out I was wrong, but now I'm struggling to imagine how one can light this
on fire.
Thermite baybeeeeeeee
That would avoid the use of fossil fuels :-)
Yeah… I guess people have tossed chains on other high voltage installations to cause self-destruction. We might be talking ”burned” a bit to literally?
