Policemen help those in need. Suggesting this one should win a Darwin award is inappropriate.

Very sad, really.
I feel bad for the Trooper. For them both, really. I'd at least like to have a little warning of my imminent departure into (I pray) glory...

Brings to mind that case in 2005 in which four people erecting a tent at a Boy Scout rally got killed when the tent pole contacted a power line.

"Darwin, or not? "Working with antique equipment can be dicey. And requires lots of time and sacrifice. These men were doing their best and something failed them.
Did they overlook something? Who knows..
Darwin Awards.... No doggone way.
