Paul, actually that was what I meant too, only didn't word it very well. (I couldn't write a novel
)
I would think that what they are referring to as a Fiber Optic line was indeed a voltage caring conductor.
It would be a far shot that with the designed separation a fiber could become energized, (not impossible but unlikely) hence the reason I think it was misidentified.
But now you've got me wondering, was he just shocked with a decent static charge or was he "electrocuted"?
