wow, lucky no one was hurt but that certainly is a big oops.

That's crazy. I bet next time they don't put people under power lines that could be severed from something like that.

Its hard to tell from the camera angle, but it looks like if it had fallen backwards, it would have landed on top of the substation, which would have been significantly worse than just some downed power lines. But yeah, those people were lucky to move out of there in time.

Apparently, the damn thing had a crack, previously unknown, causing it to twist. Demo experts say it was unavoidable. And it landed on several generators. Bad side? I was not there! I would have put on my cape, and mask,...etc (problem! No phone booths anymore.)
