On occasion, I will see a lineman working on the phone
or cable lines. It is always a mystery to me how
he knows which of the tiny wires is causing the problem,
but when he stabs the tangled mass of color
with his probe, he does, invariably, come up with
the one that needs repair. Here, however, the entire cable
had had its transmissions brought
to a very abrupt end.

wow, so many colorful wires. I could never locate the sixth blue one from any side :-)
so complicated.
Now I need to watch as the next lines-man joins another cable to this shafted one. Should give him lots of overtime ...
Your title today sounds like something out of a bomb squad procedural! I'd be lost trying that.
I love the photo! Colorful and gritty at the same time.
I made another trip past the lopped off cable. As I'd thought, the telephone pole next to the cable was really badly damaged, with huge shards broken out of it. I guess a truck it, necessitating the removal of the cable.
