Brazil Thief Shocked in River Rescue Attempt
On 4Nov24, a thief in Recife Brazil experienced a comedy of errors, eventually proving fatal. He stole a cell phone then jumped into the river to elude capture, thereby ruining the phone. He soon found himself being swept through the city in a strong river current. When he could not extract himself at a bridge pier, helpful citizens dropped a cable intending to use their superpowers to lift him 30 feet up to the bridge deck. The rescue cable then touched an electric line and shocked the immersed thief. The thief then, finally out of his misery, floated away and submerged. His body was never recovered, leading to speculation that he fed the aquatic wildlife of Brazil, perhaps even piranha.

The little bubbles as he slowly let out his last breath and sunk. Its meant to be pretty peaceful at the end.

Re: Brazil Thief Shocked in River Rescue Attempt
For a moment, it looked like exceeding the let go threshold might be a good thing. Ultimately, however, the current proved to be stronger than the current. This was a blessing in disguise for his would be rescuers. The humorous tone of the accompanying news article sounded like something a DR member would write. I have no idea if piranhas even eat eels, so it definitely wasn't me. |

Wow, those happy swarthy people did not knock themselves out to save that thief. Who wants to swim in water dirty with electricity? We need to clean global water supplies of electricity for the next generation.
