Thanks. From what I understand from talking to mechanically inclined types about the earlier report, there is no way someone could go in there with a pipe wrench and undo the nuts on these towers. They are huge and either require an hydraulic wrench or if a manual wrench, it would be about 10 feet long and weigh about 200 pounds.
Can we say saboteurs or inside job?

Could possibly be some kind of inside job, specially since the investigation shifted out to Pewaukee.
As far as removing nuts, er, I happen to have a little bit of knowledge in the area of jumbo sized nuts & bolts. What are you talking about when you say huge? You'd be surprised what kind of torque you can get with a wrench that has a long pipe slipped over it's handle. Also too, if you know the size & configuration of the nut, you can manufacture up a socket for it with a bit of steel & a welder.
