I am not sure what is going on here
That is some high-level redneck lineman stuff.
And they say Magic Reaism only happens in South America.

This would happen if the original pole was badly shredded at the bottom so it can't be kept in place Odd though to see the stub just hanging; more typical would be to have it tied to the new pole with a pair of straps. In this case, it's just held by a wire.
It may stay like that for years. Around here we have plenty of pole pairs, with the power wires on the new pole and cable/telephone on the old, left that way for a long time. Neither the phone company nor the cable company are particularly interested in doing preventive maintenance.
the pole was replaced and each set of wires belongs to a different utility and one of them hasnt moved that wire yet.
