NEWS: Electric Transmission Tower Damaged in NE Dallas, Possibly by an Explosion.

An electric transmission tower has been damaged, and investigators are not ruling out an explosion, although an FBI official stated that no evidence of an explosive device has been found. A maintenance worker, who checks the locations every 30 days, reported a suspicious device at the scene, and residents living around the area reported a loud explosion 10-12 days ago. Although authorities are not certain of the cause, the base of the tower was found bent.




This report does not indicate for certain the cause for the damage to the tower, although you can see some burn marks were close to the support leg that was damaged and bent.
Perhaps if we have some members living around this area they can shed some light on this story, as i can't find reference to this story anywhere else.

And the maintanence(sp) worker did not report this when he found the suspocious device for what reason? Or the residents, why didn't they report the explosion? Are these people dumb or something?

It could be the result of stress and structural damage

O yeah, sure looks like it was under stress, look at that big hole in the ground!

The "something is going to happen today" people will be all over this saying, "see, I told ya so"

Exactly what i was thinking, this is probably some teenage anarchists who found the anarchy cook book and decided to test some explosions out.

Well they have nothing to hold onto considering this happend some time ago.

It also crossed my mind that this could be domestic terrorism/vandalism. Perhaps even some young people pulling off a joke....but who knows.

lt may be a test done by some secrete scientists who are using FBI to cover the truth..

That was a joke right?.....

Or do you have any "proof" of this?
