5. The corporate wisdom

Of firing higher priced, and experienced, workers in favor of hiring younger, and cheaper, labor. Better for the bottom line?!

[TEXASYANKEE]

10. Yup.

It does make you wonder who was running the show. It didn't appear that any of the area around the tower was cordened off. Hopefully noone was hurt.

6. Reminds me of the GOP's policies.

7. I hope nobody was injured by the wires!

They were damn near right underneath them.

8. that's a Fail

[Joe Bacon]

9. And Fox News will blame this on Obama.

Just like all the other Press Whores.

11. What a bunch of morons

You can bet, though, that this small town didn't have the budget to hire real professionals and counted on a couple of guys who assured them they could do it, but had no experience. Chalk this one up to tightening budgets and small government. Happy with the results?

12. The falling electrical wires looked like the real danger

I hope they were no longer "live" but they would still pose a significant danger.

13. "Nice job, Brownie!"
