Concrete Pump Hits Electrical Lines

I hope is nobody got hurt. I do not know much about this accident as of yet.

I really hate pictures like that. I hope everyone is ok. thankfully the pump industry has went wireless, unfortunately it doesn't always help everyone in every situation but it helps.

looks almost like brakes out of adjustment, caught on fire. or something else. doesn't look like electrical line got hit to me. optical illusion pic.. object seems closer than it is

interesting, to me it looks like it did not hit power lines, looks like an illusion.

1st pic looks to close to lines 2nd pic boom is down 

oh yeah, didnt realize that on my phone.. lol

Probably did hit the lines.

I've seen some crazy pictures, that look like the trucks in a heap of wires, but actually its not. Thats why I said that.

where this happen todd

Lets first be sure what happened before pointing the finger  For all we know it was a shortcut in MACKs poor electrical cirquit

Could be anything..

I am trying to figure out how the brakes would have caught on fire while pumping.lol

even in the first pic it doesn't look like he's in he lines to me , looks like a optical illusion , but thats just me.

where that fires location is , i know on my putzs , some of those the power inverters are there in the side box.Looks  in trhat proximity.

If you have been in this situation before you would know your boom doesn't actually have to even be in contact with the powerlines, you just have to get close enough to have it jump across to the boom. If it is humid out, the power can arch across. The powerlines just guide the electricity. I for one thought that the power was inside the lines. I was told by the power company that had to De energize my boom that the wires just guide the power.

Joe is right 100% but Dipstick makes a valid point. Mack cabs do have terrible wiring and combine that with the fact that they vibrate, constantly, and you have a perfect conditions for wiring shorts and fires starting as a result.
