Town St. Bridge

The Town St. Bridge

Some  information on the death of Willie Wagner.

Willie was killed when he touched a light pole and a fence at the same time. “Willie” was the resistor which completed the circuit,” Ohio State University electrical engineer Ben Coifman said” (1). It is more likely that he was acting as a grounding conductor, something his body was not designed to do. 

“Searching for the source, engineers say, can be like looking for a needle in a haystack.” (2) The source was the city’s 480 volt circuit.

Some are saying that this was an intermittent problem. It is more likely that “free electrons” were sitting there waiting for Willie to happen by.

More  outrageous statements can be read by reading the article Source of shock remains mystery published by the Columbus Dispatch 1 June 2003.

From the City of Columbus Ohio code: 

4127.71 OBOA Chapters 39 through 46–Electrical.

Now the City of Columbus is going to hire out of state consultants. Why don’t they use someone who is certified by the State of Ohio to perform this investigation?

Referring to Tina Brown “She believes it’s a cover-up” (3). Whether by design or by accident the evidence is now gone.

It is hard to believe that city was allowed to tamper with the evidence that might show how Willie was killed.

There is an addition problem on the Town St. bridge. A high reading of ELF/EMF, in the 35-36mg (Gauss) range. ELF/EMF is also measured using the Tesla scale

Pass this information on to anyone that you believe could help get this resolved.
