Another botched jump!
Well, two more of you people have gone and done another illegal jump and made a mess of it. Two BASE jumpers cut a lock on the gate to a tower on a PG&E 500,000 volt transmission line near Isleton, CA and jumped. The guy, Matthias Lundblad, did OK, but the lady, Bonnie Dutile (sorry, I'm not sure of the spelling of her name, they didn't show it on the news) got tangled up in the tower and was left hanging in the wind (literally). Someone nearby heard the calls for help and called the police, who arrested Lundblad and got the county rescue people to get Bonnie down from the tower. The jump was at around 6:00 pm PST, and they got her down at around 10:00 pm. Luckily they didn't have to shut down the transmission line, as this line provides power to parts of seven states and shutting it down would have caused a major disruption.
Now, how can you guys justify cutting a lock and trespassing and endangering the rescue people just so you can get your rocks off?
BTW, the reason I'm not revealing my name is because I don't want any of you guys coming and doing something stupid to me or my house. With spokespeople like BASE44 you don't need enemies!
