A Raven Decided It Had Enough With Life, 35kV Vacuum Breaker

Got called out to Mojave for an emergency job Monday morning. Raven landed on top of a 35kV Vacuum breaker and tripped the whole bus. The fault damaged 8 different insulators and melted a bunch of hardware on the breaker frame. Breaker tested good and was back in service that evening.
