Copper thieves in downtown Dallas get bbq'd when they cut into a 13,200 volt line.

If you're squeamish..........don't scroll down.

Crispy on the outside, creamy filling!

Probably was a very fast death.

So extremely dumb.

I got zapped with 15,000 volts last week........kind of different though.

Cut out the copper wire.

A run of wire from the street to say a strip mall could get you 2g's, 5 g's even more.

BUT it always has enough power running through it to turn you into that.


Like jumping feet first into a meat grinder. Its just not that obvious to most people apparently.

Steal copper to sell for scrap. Hydro one has problems with people breaking into transformer stations and doing the same thing. Most of the thieves are half smart and just steal ground cables, but some get greedy and try to get the live cables, that never ends well.

Wiki has an entry on metal theft......maybe thats where they got the idea.

They should have a direct like to this one for those thinking about it

Did you at least make off with the copper??

 

[braveheart]

Texas uses Lethal Injection for the death Penalty, not electroction lol

they must have thought they were in Alabama

No but i got the neon working.

Copper wire in use has its own built in security system. Its the stuff still on the spool you have to keep an eye on.

almost look like spontaneous human combustion

Good thing they paid for the extra bling for the gold, helps the current flow better than those damn ceramic caps!
