I just saw one of those programs on the telly where lotz of americans get
killed by a tornado then get saved buy the fire department and there were
some really good shots of the electricity stuff blowing up and the bloke in
charge said he knew there were people dieing out there when he saw that.

Anyway, I wondered why he didn't phone up the electricity company and ask
them to switch it off before it got there. Then all of the electricity stuff
wouldn't have blown up and all those americans would not have died.

That wouldn't been an exciting action thriller ( US style ) then would it ?
Suspension of disbelief is esential to enjoying Hollwood's best efforts.
