	Description:		Last April, two people were sent to the hospital when the car they were driving was struck by a power pole. The pole was one of 26 that came down unexpectedly along on East Marginal Way South, in Tukwila, in a dramatic collapse during a storm. An investigator's report says the more than two dozen 60-foot tall power poles came down because of six that had internal decay. Reporter David Gutman wrote about it in The Seattle Times, and talked to KNKX All Things Considered host Ed Ronco about what went wrong.
