Pogo Moose Incident – Fairbanks, Alaska

May 22, 2009 by Travis 3 Comments

Here is the story:

“They were laying new power cables which were strung on the ground for miles. The moose are rutting right now and very agitated. He was thrashing around and got his antlers stuck in the cables. When the men (miles away) began pulling the lines up with their big equipment, the moose went up with them. They noticed excess tension in the lines and went searching for the problem. He was still alive when they lowered him to the ground. He was a huge 60 inch bull and slightly peeved!”

    Incredible picture but it doesn’t look real to me. First I think the animal would have died of a broken neck. The cables would have snapped from the weight.
    just looks phony to me.

    seen workers raising powerlines in idaho, definetly couldve happened those cables are super strong, they have to be! to span the huge distances they do! easily coulve supported the weight of the cables, could be fake but dont rule it out completely
