    Well.. the *official* story is that a power line sagged into a tree.

    Let's see.. some good stout non-conducting rope.. toss it over the line.. hook
    it to a truck.. and help it out just a *little* bit...

    Hmm.. anybody know where the Presidential motorcade was at the time? ;) There
    was a thing on NANOG recently about a spotter plane getting in trouble for
    flying a route along a transmission line, but he got within 30 miles of the
    motorcade....

    And of course the information is published as an alert to pilots about the
    closed airspace - which means the Bad Guys know when/where they don't have to
    worry about spotter planes.
