I'm going to stake a stab in the dark at this one,.....      Ans: As low as the truck with a blue tank on the back ???

 

 

Its astonishing how often events such as this occur in Thailand, events which simply seem unfathomable in many of our home countries..  Garrotted motorcyclist anyone?...  its been a few months since we read of news of that !!

Never read about that on here, although it did happen during an Isle of Man TT race a few years ago. Tragic!

"A truck has brought down at least six power poles....."

 

and the very next line....

 

"..... a truck hooked electric cables and brought down at least four power poles."

 

Okay, the statements aren't mutually exclusive, but it's rather poor reporting. Why didn't someone just count them - how long would it have taken? I reckon that there were seven.

 

Wonder if anyone dose a load test on these poles before they go twang????

You forgot they are useless at Sums !
