Questions about the OBX accident...


Could someone with more knowlege of this illuminate me on how this could happen?

Wouldn't the construction equipment have a computer on board that could be programmed for the coordinates of the power line? If not, wouldn't it be clearly marked in some way so they wouldn't even get close to the cable?

I just don't understand how a screw up of such epic proportions could happen...
