Bang, Pow, Bam!

So I'm working on Wednesday in an industrial part of Georgetown and the power goes out. The person there says it has been happening a lot because there is some construction going on. She checks with the CL&P guy outside and he turns it right back on. Then, about 15 minutes later, it goes off again. But this time we also hear some banging sounds in the outside wall. We listen for a while and then realize they are coming from outside the window. We look and there is an electrical wire hanging down in the street doing St. Vitus' dance in the street, with sparks shooting all over the place. Luckily (ha!) there is a CL&P truck right down the street, with its cherry picker...um...up. Hmm. So we run into the next office and look up the side of the building to where the wired used to attach. there is a flaming stub of wire where the dummy in the truck (allegedly) sheered it off. Oops. So I guess my job there was over and everyone else's, for a while at least. As I left the CL&P guy was in his truck talking with someone, I guess to order more wire.
