As a Eagle Scout myself, I am truly saddened by this incident.

The four men were erecting a large tent or canopy and the center pole touched a utility line.


My prayers are with them, their loved ones, and the scouting community.

Very sad indeed. icon_sad.gif


I know that technically they weren't digging and it may have been a private line but I will take the opportunity to remind everyone to
CALL BEFORE YOU DIG

My wife works for Ohio Utilities Protection Service, I hear stories all the time.

I went to the Jamboree in 1974? in Idaho. This was very sad.

Call before you dig anyway.
