      <description><![CDATA[Throughout the world this is a not uncommon occurrence. Perhaps it is less common in Malaysia due to the relatively low speed of the Komuter trains and the relatively short distance of wired track. Foreign objects getting tangled in the wires is one...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[AFAIK these are pure metal. Not an alloy. There's a limit to the tension which it can withstand, and the fact that it snapped tells you the force whatever caused it was more than it could tolerate.

What really happened? Hmm...bearing in mind this is...]]></description>
