How?

[edit]

I think it would help the article if we presented some sort of cited theory for how a lightning strike is able to bring down a 100m industrial, and presumably mostly dielectric, chimney. Nigholith (talk) 14:11, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just Wondering

[edit]

The article says one person might've been "thrashed to death" after being "attacked." Just wondering if the circumstances surrounding this manner of death can be described more specifically, i.e. what does being "thrashed to death" mean and who/what did the attacking? Thanks.

The information on that matter is contradictory for the moment; presumably why the information isn't in the article. As with all breaking news the intricacies aren't always clear until long after the event. If you read through some of the sources, they claim the worker may have been killed for blaming the construction contractors for the incident. Nigholith (talk) 00:57, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tense usage in article

[edit]

Since this is an encyclopedia article and not a news article, shouldn't the present tense be avoided?Wkharrisjr (talk) 15:35, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
