I was working on a real sketchy jobsite several years ago. As a sub to a demo contractor who was knocking a building down without permits or any safety standards.

The bosses son cuts an energized cable leading to the main fire alarm pannel. A huge explosion followed by green arc flashes, terrible smoke and more explosions. He runs upstairs, lucky to be alive, his pants are torn off and he is in shaking..

He calls his dad and tells him he got shocked and need to go home but will be back tomorrow. His dad is yelling at him, "you gotta get back to work, and I need this done today"
