250 volts is approximately 0.23% of 110kv, the voltage which most power lines carry. Here in Kagadama, there are houses and shops built of mud and bricks littering under these towers.

Everyday, I imagine what could possibly happen should those transmission lines cut loose. Peradventure, if one of the transmission lines snaps and dangles down into the zinc roof of one of the houses, what will happen?

Perhaps, all inhabitants will be exposed to severe electrocution which might not only kill them but roast them, in about a period of time less than a minute. My thoughts though, I might be wrong.

As an individual who treads with utmost caution, each day, when I pass under the towers, I keep looking up at the conductors running lengthwise in the sky, looking for tangible indication that a line is about to snap. But I never found one. Safety is indeed the underlying principle behind every engineering structure, power lines inclusive.
