So any questions come to mind. Why so much material at the base of that tower? How long will it take to get that apparently major transmission line bock in service? Are they building something where that tall framework is standing?

Where is it at? It definitely isn't in the US because US power companies do not allow anything around those structures.

I am really surprised that there was not more arcing as it fell.

This happened in Alabang, in the Philippines. Here's a news story.
