Charlestown utility pole at a jaunty angle today

Leaning utility pole

A roving UHub photographer snapped a utility pole approaching 45 degrees at 275 Medford St., near the Charlestown community center around 7 p.m. Boston firefighters (one in the lower left) were already on scene.

That Jeep deserves a commendation for rushing in to hold up the pole. Perhaps a Kinopio Medal is in order.

It is only keeping the pole from fully blocking all vehicle traffic.

Not long until a screen-staring box truck driver ignores the hazard and helps it complete that mission.

The first sentence had me wondering if the roving reporter called the authorities between snapping the utility pole and taking the picture

I understand that 'If you're a utility pole you have to expect to be hit' but did anyone warn them about PEDESTRIANS doing the hitting.

I agree with @perruptor: That Jeep deserves a medal. Imagine if a school bus on a field trip had been going by at the time of that wanton pedestrian aggression. We need to keep our sidewalks safe for scooters, mopeds, bicycles and skateboards. /S
