#316 — Boy Scouts electrocuted in deadly Texas boating accident

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/boy-scouts-electrocuted-avinger-texas-boating-
accident/

AVINGER, Texas -- Authorities say two Texas Boy Scouts were killed and 
another was critically hurt when their sailboat hit an overhead power line 
and apparently electrocuted the youths. 

The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department says the accident happened Saturday 
afternoon at Lake O' The Pines near Avinger, 150 miles east of Dallas.

Agency spokesman Steve Lightfoot said the Boy Scouts, ages 18 and 16, died 
at the scene. Their names weren't immediately released.  

CBS affiliate KYTX-TV reports 11-year-old Thomas Larry was critically 
injured and was hospitalized in Shreveport, Louisiana.

All were from Troop 620 in Hallsville and wore personal flotation devices. 
Lightfoot says the catamaran was on fire, with sails up, when game wardens 
arrived.

Lightfoot says the preliminary investigation indicates the sailboat came 
in contact with the power line. 

Boy Scout members, teachers and friends shared stories about the boys 
killed in the accident and sang "Amazing Grace" during a candlelight 
vigil, according to KYTX-TV.

Were there signs or any attempt to keep boats with masts from crossing 
under the lines. Methinks the power company or whoever was responsible for 
the line is going to be in deep kimchee.

"Boy Scouts accidentally electrocuted in deadly Texas boating accident." 
Just like they were "accidentally" sodomized in my Scout Troop by the 
Scout Master's sixteen year-old Explorer Scout son.

Im fairly sure a 120v line would not set the boat on fire. Was the line 
high voltage? Shouldnt be strung that low.

Taking a sailboat out on Lake O' The Pines with mast taller than "x" 
should be strictly prohibited.

Stringing power lines lower than "y" should also be strictly prohibited.

That had to be some high-voltage line. Who thought stringing it low over 
Lake O' The Pines was a good idea?

THAT'S what you focus on here? Though I oppose ridiculous superstition in 
any form, the song was hardly the focus.

As a fellow atheist, I think you should stop being a d!ck about this. To 
the devoutly religious, this means something, and it does absolutely no 
harm to you.

-- 
Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in 
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016.  The clown car 
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.

Congratulations President Trump.  Thank you for ending the disaster of the 
Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the 
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its 
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum 
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare.  It can't 
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great 
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight 
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer 
liberal democrat donors.

<snip crap>

There was an incident like that when I was a kid on a lake where we had a
cabin. The lake level was high and a sail boat lost control and drifted or
was blown where power distribution lines passed near the shore line (over
the water at the time), its mast struck the overhead distribution line and
two people were killed.  The newspaper story reported the distribution
line voltage was 4800 volts.  That power line and another one that passed
over a channel were moved shortly thereafter.

there was an incident some years ago where some soldiers trying to raise 
a flag pole touched an overhead MV line and, I think all of them died 
don't remember exactly. I think their parents sued the greek army and 
state for no-one having warned them to the dangers of HV electricity. 
MVlines in Greece are all (almost) 20 kV but not earth referenced, 
that's line-to-line voltage and is always 3 phase without a neutral.All 
distribution transformers in Greece are 3 phase and quite large (say 640 
kVA) and usually feed a whole neighborhood.Secondary always 400 V, 
3-phase and neutral *line-to-line 400 V, line-to-neutral 230 
V*generation is (in the mainland) brown coal, hydro, wind and solar and 
some steam turbines that used to be mazut but now natural gas (much 
cleaner). in the islands 2-stroke diesels either with diesel (small) or 
mazut (larger) gas turbines (diesel) and small steam units with 
mazut.also some regeneratives, too.a large amount of resident hot water 
is generated with solar power (heliotherma) as for instance in Crete 
where I am the sun shines 330 days a year (like in Israel for instance).
