Be carefull with the trees! (Brazil)
Author: pedrop

A friend of mine who is a VLI engineer hit a tree at night and took a big fright. But he was not hurt in the accident. After storms this is a kind of accident common here.

Isn't this the 2nd incident like this?  Seems like I remember you posting a picture a few months ago of the same thing.

They need to have someone patrol that line to prevent those kinds of incidents. Somebody could get killed.

They do it, but it is impossible to prevent accidents like this in such a big strech of tracks in the woods.

Brazil is covered in forest, and it grows back so fast, that the foliage can change within a day. Keeping an eye on such large stretches of line is virtually impossible :-/
