Hooking up the hard way. Yep, there's video.

I wonder what the pay-out will be.

I once met a guy who supervised a crew of electricians on the Boston subway (”T”).
He had one guy on the crew who wasn’t overly bright, and thought it would be cool to pee on the third rail.
Part of him evaporated.
The rest of him was, of course, dead.

I have a hard time finding sympathy for adults or even older teenagers doing this kind of stuff. Little kids, get some sympathy.

I wonder what the pay-out will be.If these potential Darwin Award winners don’t croak, it will be millions. If they die, their families will get the money, but it will still be millions.

It appears that gambling was taking place on those tracks.

Electricity and stupid don’t mix well…

Quiet! The EnviroWeenies will be tapping into that to charge their EVs!
Well, maybe that’s not an entirely BAD idea, LOL!
Oh, RELAX. My BFF has one of those half-electric cars. I haven’t ‘divorced’ her yet. The ‘combustion’ end of it recharges the ‘electric’ end of it as you drive it.

Typical phone call: “Hey, BFF! I’m coming into town. Did you need me to bring you a five-gallon can of ee-lec-tricity on my way in?”

Exactly! They have adult privileges with zero responsibility. Modern “parenting.”

I’m sorry, but I cannot find any sympathy for selfie junkies. A selfie junkie died in Hong Kong last week after breaking into the top floor of a very tall building, to take a selfie on a stick, crazy picture for sure), knocking on windows on his rapid descent down to the abrupt stop on the sidewalk. This is an ever growing list…sad. Just think about ALL the others we don’t read about who make the same fatal mistake…sad.

A culture that believes they can do anything they want without consequence is doomed to history’s lessons. Six hundred volts is a harsh school master.

Note how the author of this piece writes that one of the rescuers “avoided being seriously electrocuted.”
Electrocuted means DEAD. It’s always pretty serious if yer DEAD.
It was a word specifically invented to specify this. Electricity + Executed = Electrocuted.
