Soldiers Dying from Bad Electrical Work
CNN has this article on the shoddy electrical work done in areas housing U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Eighteen soldiers have died of electrocution. Most of the work was done by KBR.
"Of the 16 cases, more than half involved contact with power lines during military or construction operations, and the rest occurred while making electrical repairs or from improper grounding of electrical equipment, according to the report.
Four deaths appear to be related to wiring problems, and one of them involved work done by KBR, "
