Well.. the *official* story is that a power line sagged into a tree. Let's see.. some good stout non-conducting rope.. toss it over the line.. hook it to a truck.. and help it out just a *little* bit... Hmm.. anybody know where the Presidential motorcade was at the time? ;) There was a thing on NANOG recently about a spotter plane getting in trouble for flying a route along a transmission line, but he got within 30 miles of the motorcade.... And of course the information is published as an alert to pilots about the closed airspace - which means the Bad Guys know when/where they don't have to worry about spotter planes. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
