Sabotage suspected in Wis. tower collapse



Milwaukee, WI, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- Bolts deliberately removed from two Wisconsin electric transmission towers caused them to collapse across railroad tracks, police said.

About 17,000 homes and businesses, including Milwaukee's Mitchell International Airport, were without power for part of the weekend. A Canadian Pacific freight train that stopped just north of the fallen electrical lines was still waiting there Sunday afternoon.

Mitchell airport was without power for more than two hours.

Oak Creek, Wis., police chief Tom Bauer stopped short of calling the Saturday collapse of the 80-foot towers terrorism but said the anchor bolts had been tampered with, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said Monday.

The FBI issued a general warning to regional authorities to watch for attacks on infrastructure.

Waukesha, Wis.-based American Transmission Co. ordered crews to inspect all electrical towers in the area. The distribution lines are owned by We Energies.

Officials said it would take two or three days to replace the 49-year-old fallen transmission towers.
