I think what is most scary about this picture is in the background. Look at the power lines! They could topple over any second and those boys are right next to them! I do not think being electrocuted is very good for the body. The truth is, this circumstance is all over Mexico. strong winds can cause these weak power lines to fall over, and it takes awhile before anything is done about it. Aurora energy give this advice about fallen power lines: "Stay away, stay alive." Power lines can be fatal to one's life. The electricity flow can kill someone. Having such a fatal hazard near where people ride their bikes and walk. Here, in America, we have the safety of well taken care of power lines. I remember how quick PG&E will respond whenever the power is out, or if there is a potentially dangerous situation. I remember, they would bring a crew to my neighbors properties and cut the branches of trees that were growing close to the power lines to avoid any issues. In mexico, they do not have that kind of response, causing it to be a very potentially dangerous situation. Even the little things that we take for granted, we should realize are problems in other parts of the world. This is especially prevalent in many of the poorer countries. Ask yourselves, what do we take for granted?
