Comcast has always had a bad reputation for their customer service. They play those commercials now about how they employ a billion vets, people love working for them, they're a part of the community, etc. Also have that guarantee if they miss a half hour window or whatever for their appointments, they'll credit you on your next bill.

These guys, whether right or wrong, didn't help that.

Deploying more cones or a sign prior to the hill wouldn't have made a difference in the average driver's speed.  A lot of people don't slow down for hazards or move over for emergency vehicles anymore.  Most people won't even observe and process the warning mentally before actually seeing the truck in the road.  I've seen drivers on a 3 lane interstate at 2 AM not move to the left for a police officer on the shoulder.  This is why manufacturers are adding automatic brakes and lane guidance, etc.  


Cones prior to the hill crest would've had some of those morons blindly entering the oncoming lane, because slowing down simply isn't an option when you have the patience of a 5 year old.  The entitled attitude that a lot of people turn on when driving is disturbing.

Comcast will pay out. . . I'd be surprised if they weren't reaching out out to these people proactively to cut some checks.

Million dollar customer service marketing campaign reduced to nothing because of some "non-customer facing" drivers and some idiot with a camera phone.

Fuck comcunt!!!!

I was a Flagger at one of my jobs. There are RULES for closing a lane on a roadway. They fucked up on everything having to do with the Safety of themselves and the drivers
on the road. Signs warning of slow speed, workers ahead, lane closed ahead, what lane is closed, left or right on each direction of the road!!! and then what distance the signs and cones
have to be for that speed limit!  And in this situation they should have had 2 flaggers out there. Fuck them!!!!

Yes the idiots driving too fast for conditions! I know, been almost hit a few times and have thrown my sign at one car for them not paying attention.

UPDATE: Comcast has issued a statement apologizing for this week’s incident.

“When I watched this video I was very concerned by what I saw,” says Ed Marchetti, SVP of Technical Operations, Comcast Cable, in a statement emailed to Consumerist. “Our employees should always protect people and treat them with respect no matter what the situation. Safety matters most – especially in dangerous weather conditions like this.

“We are actively investigating what happened when our technicians were on site to restore services during an outage and we will reach out to those who were impacted by this incident.

“Within the next 24-48 hours, my team leaders will meet with our technicians across our company to use this as an example of how important it is to make everyone’s safety a priority in everything we do.

“And just as important, there’s no place for disrespect – treating people the right way is the only way to work.”

Sorry, not blaming Comcast for this one.  I'm blaming the assholes flying over a blind frozen hill far too fast.  They would have hit a stopped school bus, someone trying to turn into their driveway, or any slow moving vehicle.  Absolutely zero excuse to drive like that when roads are in that condition.  Video man should have put the phone down and called the Police if he had an issue.  Much easier for them to notify PW, county or state that the road conditions are dangerous and they need to be treated.

Flaggers, signage and more cones, etc.....

Well, some of you have never stopped to think about, "maybe it's a emergency repair."    Perhaps later, we could debate if Cable TV qualifies.  

But sure....scheduled maintenance and planned upgrades etc..... could be scheduled with more help.  However, I don't think that is the case here.

Even those who have mentioned calling the cops don't understand that the utility companies have "emergency permit rights to close down lanes."  As for the cops responding.....you want them to act as a flagman, so that the entire sector is down one officer while the CABLE CO. fixes shit?

Really.....stuff could be nicer.  But, SLOW THE HELL DOWN!

Humm.....assign a $25 an hour flagman to every truck.  And, pass the costs onto cable subscribers.  That'll be a wonderful jobs program.  Rrrrrright.

ABILITY does NOT mean that someone will approve.  Nor that, even at time and a half, that anyone will answer their phone from their supervisor on their day off.  Nor guarantee that someone will respond in a timely manner.

Then, YES.  In a worst case senario the PD can shut down an unsafe situation.  Have you ever tried it and gotten a "good" response?

"Saftey issues," are subject to interpretation and not always so cut and dry.   There are always monday morning quarterbacks who will disagree with most everything that a PO does or will do.

Well first off, you don't get to choose which vehicle you're issued. Much less which options.
Even if he did have a 4wd, you can bet the hissy fit would have gone up an order of magnitude if he left

Sure....evidence is good to have.

Will the damages amount (even if the suit was settled out of court) depend on how fast the driver (assuming killed, mother and child in black p/u) was going at the time of the accident?  

Sure.

+++++

Then......

The sad part is......(and this is pie in the sky, lawsuits love them or leave them)....

Say that........a jury hears this case.   Say that, the jury found that the blame is assigned to:

10% police.....didn't respond fast enough or didn't do enough to prevent
25% Cable company
65% Driver (dead mother)

Well.....in some jurisdictions unless 35% or more fault was found to any one entity.    Then, too bad, they are not obligated to pay a cent.   *This 35% number might vary from place to place and even the law itself varys.  Then, some places have modified the law.  Saying that if one party goes bankrupt or is unable to pay for whatever good   reason, then the remaining "at fault entity" must pay the total judgement.  

Whatever....I ain't a lawyer.

And, even if you played with the numbers or law........was there CLEARLY someone responsible?

CLEARLY some here just hate the Cable Company and would not stop to bankrupt them.  

If just one child dies!  

Isn't that.........just like how some victims and families of victims of gun violence would like to assign blame (hoping for a sympathetic jury) while closing down a business/industry?

Not saying that I have the ultimate answer.  But, something to consider perhaps?

I think it is bullshit that the Comcast worker did not in any way attempt to adjust protocol since there was ice on the road because in his mind he is doing what he's supposed to and people should be driving cautiously while knowing for an absolute and proven fact that people are not going to use as much caution as necessary.

Almost paradoxical

I wonder if the rules he's citing about 1 cone per 10 mph is for ideal conditions. It seems a company like Comcast would have been smart enough to figure poor driving conditions + bocked road = danger.

We should all at least see a plausibility of partial guilt on the Comcast guys fault...

I don't want to blame ComCast, but they are at fault. Total road closure of one lane without having anyone to guide or direct traffic with bonux points for after a blind hill. While this doesn't absolve people for bad driving in poor conditions it looks like a lot of people were driving normally not expecting to crest a hill and find the cable company completely blocked the lane with what looks to be <100ft of notice.
