Here's an interesting exchange from 2 years ago on a broadcaster's blog:

Thanks

[RT] Prometheus Towers?

"Prometheus Methods Tower Service"--what, do they hang from the top of the
tower and throw flaming torches at the ground?

And didn't Prometheus get up getting punished by the Gods for helping us
mortals?  I sure wouldn't want to be up on a tower working for an outfit
with that name with an electrical storm aprroaching--LOL.

Sorry, but I couldn't resist.

From Bloomberg News:


"Berg went to Iraq ``because he believed in the cause and he wanted to help the Iraqi people rebuild their infrastructure,'' said Walter Billings, president of Total Engine Service and Supply Co., for whom Berg worked as a contractor.

Billings said Berg had performed painting, repairs and troubleshooting for problems, among other engineering and maintenance tasks on radio towers as high as 900 feet tall outside Baltimore and Washington, for the company's Comm- Struction and Services division, based in Bel Air, Maryland."



Apparently after this guy from Total Engine Service posted the message to the board he hired Berg as a contractor. Hmmmm. Perhaps his credentials as a tower guy are legitimate. But the question remains as to why he went to Iraq when work here in the US is good?

Thanks for pinging me. This is another piece that doesn't fit. Why wouldn't there be a record of this company if it existed, and was legitimate?

The story of Prometheus is pretty scary when you compare what has happened with the legend.
