SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (WDTN) - The video was all over the internet, even right here at WDTN.com .

Now, First Energy and Ohio Edison are suing over a 2010 demolition that went haywire.

The Ohio Edison tower in Springfield fell in the wrong direction.  It took out power lines and sent a 2 NEWS videographer running for cover.

The lawsuit accuses three contracting companies of negligence.

They say the botched job caused $19-million dollars in damage.
