Actually talked to supervisor today and he has heard nothing about this. Maybe there is a report somewhere? He even showed me the accident reports for past few days lot of accidents but nothing about this case here.

talked to an old pole buddy today he said the last time he heard of a piker getting killed on BG&E was in 03 during Izzy... he one other guy from Entergy got killed up there then too... not sure but maybe you were reading an article about that??? he said he'd put some feelers out and if he heard anything he'd get back to me...
