Baby deer causes a power outage

A baby deer caused a power outage in Montana by somehow becoming tangled in overhead power lines 20 feet off the ground. Resident Lee Bridges says that when she asked a NorthWestern Energy technician why her lights had gone out, he pointed up at the dangling carcass of a fawn and said, “There’s your problem—a flying deer.” Officials speculate that the young deer must have been grabbed by a large bald eagle and dropped so that it would be smashed and easier to eat.
