RE: I hate power lines...

[papilloncharity]

Great editing to camouflage the powerlines Hannes.

I used to work on the powerlines in four provinces in our country and the reason for my dislike of them is that they kill many of our bigger birds.

Incidentally on Tuesday the 19th of January which was three day days ago, we lost a young pilot who was crop spraying in a helicopter.
The powerlines got him.

Oh, the honour belongs to the snow 😁

I have never heard that a helicopter or airplane had crashed into power lines here. They are not even allowed to fly that low and additionally the power poles and lines have lights or highly visible balls installed.
Also, here I haven't seen helicopters or airplanes crop spraying. Maybe because our fields are too small, but I don't know.

Bad news just in Hannes.
Another Helicopter fell a few hours ago in Bergville, 5 people onboard killed.
Don't have the cause yet, but will know soon, as I am a member of the local flying club!

Blessings!

That's bad, two helicopter accidents within a few days, so many people killed, I feel so sorry 😢

Yeah, even worse, it was a 911 helicopter with medical staff.
Crashed in Bergville near Marian's uncle Barry's farm and it's near the Drakensberg mountains.
We stayed in Bergville a few times and I know the area.
Bad news indeed!

They risk their life each day to safe the lifes of people they don't know. That's even more sad.

I don't know what's going on here as yet another small crop spraying plane went down yesterday.
Pilot killed and drones were used to try and find it in the huge maize fields, but they failed.
So, they used a chopper with trackers to find it.

Cheers and thanks!

So three have fallen from the sky in a short time - coincidence?
