Itching bull cuts off electricity supply

公牛蹭癢癢導致500戶民居停電

公牛蹭癢癢導致500戶民居停電


閱讀難度:

Hundreds of residents across three seaside villages on the North Devon coast were repeatedly left without electricity after a restless bull damaged the area's major electricity supply.

Engineers weren't able to identify the source of the problem immediately after the blackouts, which left the villages of Croyde, Saunton and Georgeham in complete darkness.

It wasn't until after a four-day search involving a helicopter, electronic trail finder equipment and a team of engineers on foot, that they caught the bull scratching itself against a pylon in a field in Saunton. ...(點擊雅虎新聞網站查看原文)

???????英國德文郡北部3個村莊最近經常停電,500多戶人家動不動就會陷入一片黑暗之中。電力公司調查之后發現,罪魁禍首竟然是一頭蹭癢癢的公牛。

???????工程師一開始并不知道問題出在哪里,為了尋找停電的根源,電力公司派出一架直升飛機進行高空搜索,動用了大批高科技電力追蹤設備,還派出一隊工程師進行地毯式地面搜索,大張旗鼓地折騰了4天,最后終于找到罪魁禍首:一頭公牛在靠著電線桿蹭癢癢的時候被逮了個正著。

???????工程師猜,這頭公牛可能喜歡在電線桿上蹭癢癢,搞得電線桿搖搖晃晃,電路自我保護功能被啟動,反復切斷電力傳輸系統,導致附近地區反反復復的停電。

???????電力公司發言人說,這頭公牛體型龐大,給電力系統造成不少損失。工程師估計它常來這里蹭癢癢,因為電線桿上有一塊地方都被它磨得發亮了。

???????雪上加霜的是,這次飽受停電之苦的3個村莊不通煤氣,居民生活全靠電力,沒完沒了的停電搞得每家人的生活都亂成一鍋粥,有些人甚至被迫在野外生火做飯。

???????一位當地居民說,得知罪魁禍首是一頭公牛時,大家都覺得很不可思議,不過這場混亂也讓所有人都意識到,現代人對電力依賴得太深了。
