Anonym1ty's Journal: Sabotage caused power loss at Milwaukee Airport

Short of calling it a terrorist act, the FBI said the collapse of two 80 foot tall high voltage electric transmission towers was caused by someone purposely removing bolts that held the towers in place.

The outage effected 17,000 customers, including Mitchell International Airport. A southbound freight train stopped on the tracks about 75 yards from the downed lines. Amtrak commuter service between Milwaukee and Chicago has been stoped.
