In Antalya, Turkey, two young people were caught in a current while trying to catch a parrot, which was resting on an electric wire. They arrived with an aluminum rod, attached to it a net. While the moments when the current coming out of the feet of the young people and they collapsed on the ground were reflected on the security camera. A man, who saw the incident, said, "Everything happened at once, a fire broke out from above, then came out from under the guy's feet. We were shocked when we saw it, we froze." The incident occurred on the pavement in the Kepez district Sütçüler District at noon in March. According to the information obtained, 2 friends came to the region to catch the parrot. The young people who tried to take the bird off the wire luring it with a female parrot for a while were unsuccessful and they decided to catch it with a net.

The fireball formed on the pole descended from the stick in the hands of the young people to the pavement. The young people, who had a fire coming out from under their feet, collapsed to the pavement. Citizens who saw the incident immediately reported the situation to the 112 Emergency Call Center.
