Re: Four Painters Electrocuted By Power Line

My construction teacher back in high school told our class that he witnessed a man get electrocuted to death by a transformer. According to him, the man was a pile of ash no bigger than a stack of papers when they got to him

Re: Four Painters Electrocuted By Power Line

I doubt that last flaming guy was still alive by the end of the video, the movement and twitching is probably just muscle contraction from the intensity of the heat. Fire exposure causes a bodys arms and legs to curl in on themselves.

Exactly, also the burning of the body produces pockets of air inside the body that must find a way out, hence...

Re: Four Painters Electrocuted By Power Line

Four of the men were electrocuted and died within moments. They were identified as Edward J. Illig, 37, of Lemon Grove; William H. Mallory, 37, and James B. Tatum, 56, of San Diego, and Benjamin J. Ross, 27, of El Cajon.

The fifth victim, Charles Booth, 50, of National City, was severely burned and was taken by Life Flight helicopter to UC San Diego Medical Center, where he was in critical condition late Friday night.

All five men were veteran civilian painters working for the Navy Public Works Center in San Diego. They had been working on the submarine base since August, and for a week had been painting Argonaut Hall, a three-story building used for training and private university classes for Navy personnel, Lt. (j.g.) Joy E. Hopkins, a Navy spokeswoman, said.

Re: Four Painters Electrocuted By Power Line

It's amazing how all of them are insta killed when the scaffold touches the power line.
