    1a: Tighten up our first lead: Pipefitter Duane La Chance suffered third-degree burns Wednesday afternoon while installing new pipes... We don't need to know who is employer is in the lead. That can come in P2.

    1b: Good, but tighten it up a bit more. ...after he touched a 15,000-volts power line...

    2a: Just ID the injured guy in the lead. Getting both of their names in there makes for a bulky lead.
    2b: Start with the injured guy -- that's what makes it news. Otherwise, it could just be a fender-bender.

    8.5/10
