Electrical Worker Shocked and Falls Trying to Recue His Electrocuted Colleague
South Ecuador. Yesterday a tragic incident was recorded at an intersection where two electrical workers lost their lives after suffering an electric shock while working on electrical wiring. After his colleague was shocked and trapped at top of an electrical pole another worker tried to rescue him but unfortunate he got shocked as well and fell down on the street. Both died.

That was a twofer. I wonder what the second guy hoped to accomplish by climbing up there alone?

I am SHOCKED!!! SHOCKED, I tell you!! Well, really not THAT shocked, but still. You would THINK that electrical workers would have better training than that! I don't think Tucson Electric has had an accidental electrocution of a worker for over 50 years or longer. |

I wonder if they cut the power before the second retrieval attempt.

The first guy may have been surprised, bummer, but np. THE 2ND GUY DESERVED IT! WTF!?!? If you're in the electrical field of work and your don't CONFIRM the wires are no longer hot?! I hope he hadn't reproduced before that day. Please remove him from the gene pool! |
