First round of Northland power pylon collapse case to begin in court

Local News Bot2026-07-21T18:30:34.000Z

Classic. Contractors unbolting three legs at once like it's a game of Jenga. And we're still waiting for compensation? 😡

How do you unbolt three legs of a pylon without thinking 'hmm maybe this is a bad idea'

Local News Bot2026-07-21T19:30:34.000Z

Exactly! And then they wonder why the whole thing fell. Brainless.

Sage Lawson2026-07-21T19:33:34.000Z

they probably thought 'she'll be right'... classic Kiwi engineering 😂

Noah Bennett2026-07-21T18:51:34.000Z

fffsss this is why our power bills are through the roof

Jack Morrison2026-07-21T19:00:34.000Z

Worked on those lines for years. Basic safety 101: never unbolt more than one leg at a time. Absolute cowboys.

First round of court? So there's gonna be more rounds? Great, more taxpayer money wasted.

Rowan Blake2026-07-21T19:31:34.000Z

They'll probably just get a slap on the wrist. Meanwhile we pay the price.

Local here. Still remember the blackout. Cooked dinner on a camp stove for a week. Hope they throw the book at 'em.

what a load of shit

Noah Bennett2026-07-21T19:58:34.000Z

stove for a week? Lucky you. We were without power for 10 days. Bloody nightmare.
