The last thing you'll hear as death reigns upon you are the cries of freedon. Bird freedon that is

They said it was an osprey, but let’s be honest, it was probably a bald eagle wearing a mask.

It's not their fault that salmon are too conductive. Maybe if that DFMEA had been truly thought through, maybe things would be fine...

Failure mode: Short circuit
Effect: starts huge multi state fire causing millions to lose power and their homes and belongings.
Cause: very conductive fish placed across power lines.
Occurrence: never but maybe one day.
Severity: holyshitballs Batman! Bad.
Detection: balls chopped off 3 times over with no anesthesia sort of detection. You will know as soon as the fish fries.
Mitigation: never place a wet conductive fish across power lines god damn it! Put Bob and Roscoe in Jail preemptively.
