Yet another Chinese thing happens...

I walked out of school today to find a man with about a 10-foot length of scrap metal, trying to dislodge a blanket that was draped over the electrical cables stretched between two nearby buildings.  He didn't really seem too concerned about anything short of his goal of retrieving this blanket, which seems to be the way the Chinese in general think.  At any rate, he managed to free the blanket from the first tangle of cables, only to have it fall onto a single, thinner cable below.  Without pausing to reassess the new circumstances, the man tugged at his makeshift hook again and ripped the cable free from one of the buildings.

Well, he got the blanket down, but at what price?!?
