said by RayW:Looks like some electrical zip cord of the type used on cheap lamps connected to the laptop and PC, yet they are holding coax in another picture? Then there is a section of what looks like telephone trunk line but could be some very ragged ethernet cable. The only thing similar to that disaster that I have seen was the end result of a lightning strike, and that is a few kilo-volts higher voltage.
I will be the first to admit I have not seen everything, but data cables that look like electrical cords are so....60's? I THINK i remember some from long ago, but none recently, but I am sure someone will identify it if it really is a data cable.
Apparently this is making the rounds to many blogs and 'news' outlets and I wonder if it is really all true. But considering I know of a case where a jet mechanic put a port side AOA on the starboard side of a jet (resulting in a crash on take off
), I suppose it could be somehow done if someone tried hard enough.
its actually a retractable USB cord. like they sell at radioshack. the reason they are holding coax in the other picture is most likely the run going into the scientific atlanta cable modem.
