Black cables draped over a blacktop road at night; as a supporter of organized labor I will have to keep this in mind the next time I hear about unions = safety. I just saw this with a couple of feet to spare; if there had been traffic to my right I would have been a grease spot on Hudson Street. I knocked on the cab of the truck and said, you know, you're going to kill someone. But whatever it was, it was someone else's job. BTW isn't it the law that a truck has to carry cones, reflectors, and flares? Anyway, I peeled the "glove system" off of my frozen fingers to get the shots and call 311. Then I circled back around a few blocks, and by the time I came back (3 minutes) a cop was there and someone was tucking in the cables properly. Or more or less properly, or more less than more, but at least it wasn't going to act as a garrot.
