Nasty. Was it really a pylon of just a wooden pole?

  • . . . Regardless of if they are poles or a pylon, I do think that blame has been inappropriately apportioned.. . 




    It must be influences from the Daily Hell. It is clear that the car has damaged the poles, as it is part way up one of the stay wires, and the pole is still standing.


    For the sake of completeness, two poles together like this are known as an “H Pole”. A metal lattice construction that supports electric wires is known as a “Tower” within the electricity supply industry. I believe a “Pylon” is the metal structure that holds a jet engine to an aircraft wing.
