Re: Mad Cows
Karl: There is a utility easement corridor running from Washington State, through Oregon, into California.
This corridor has iron maiden towers for 230 KV lines, and wooden structures for 138 KV lines.
There is also, in the ground, a gasoline pipeline from California to Washington. This is the same line that killed two boys, in Washington, when the line leaked and gas spread in the stream where the boys were wading. The gas was ignited and the explosion killed the boys.
I call this setup "The corridor to Hell"
I went on record about a childrens play area being erected under the lines. The kids were actually getting a slight shock when touching the structure.
The builder/developer of a lot of high end homes bordering this corridor, protested to the community I was working. He was also the builder of the playground. The property owners and parents of the children had the playground moved to a greater distance, partly based on my statements.
This builder had a lot of political clout. I was a contract inspector, and my contract was not renewed. The reason given to me was that I was under bid for the position. I found out the replacement was charging ten dollars per hour more than I was.
I was informed by a credible source that the city officials were upset over my statement "I would not let my grandkids on that playground"
This statement appeared in the Oregonian newspaper and was on camera, with me saying it on TV.
