 2/10/06: Queen Anne, Washington — Crane Cuts PowerA construction crane knocked down power lines in the lower Queen Anne Hill neighborhood shortly before noon Wednesday, interrupting power to about 6,500 Seattle City Light customers. The outage caused traffic jams in the area. Power was restored by 2 p.m. This is the 4th AVOIDABLE incident reported to this site this year in which power lines were involved. There were 38 incidents reported to this site in 2005, 41 in 2004, 60 in 2003, 33 in 2002 and 35 in 2001. Again, all were avoidable. Just don't work cranes near energized power lines. Power line contact is the most frequent cause of crane accidents, yet they are the easiest to prevent. LOOK up and live! |
