Flying manhole covers, exploding pavement injure seven in London.
http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/freak-pavement-explosions-have-injured-at-least-seven-people-in-london-7961754.html
One of the injured “is claiming negligence by UK Power Networks, a Hong Kong owned company that owns and maintains the electrical cabling supplying London’s power.”
A company spokesman said: “We would like to reiterate that events such as the one unfortunately encountered by Mr Wingate are unusual.”
(Really? One should hope such events are not a regular occurrence.)
The spokesman also said, “The safety of our staff and customers is our main priority. We undertake a robust programme of regular checks and maintenance on our overhead lines and underground cables plus associated equipment.”
(Hey, you got top marks in Public Relations 101, Replying to Complaints that Involve Bodily Injury.)
