Hey guys we had a very sad day at work we lost a fellow lineman in an underground vault exsplosion. I work for Southern Calif Edison (36years) the young man who lost his life was 39 married and father of 2 young girls and I know that being a lineman is a very dangerous job, just wanted to share to remind you all to tell your family and friends what they mean to you because we never know when our time is up. Thanks for listening .....Dan

Sorry to hear of the loss of such a young man and my condolences to his family and fellow workers. A friend of mine has been a lineman for over thirty years and while improvements have been made, it remains extremely dangerous.
