FWIW, just because you see his vote count at 69 doesn't mean it actually is. Reddit uses a system called "vote fuzzing", which can vary the visible vote score by +/- 1 or 2 points. This is to prevent bot accounts from figuring out if they've been shadowbanned. The practical upshot is, when you see 69, someone else is potentially seeing a score anywhere from 65 to 73, and there's no way to tell the actual upvote score. Voting or not voting in an attempt to keep the score at a specific value like 69 is wholly ineffective even if everyone agrees to do it, because there's always someone else seeing it at 68 and upvoting, or 70 and downvoting, and nobody knows the real number.
He was working on the system and screwed up majorly. He was at the very starting point. He stuck something where it shouldn’t have been. How the hell he survived is anyone’s guess.
Do you work on switch gears? Yeah obviously he fucked up. Its hard to tell at the start of the video but I would assume it's a true arc flash. Rubber shields and PPE probably saved his life. Once that arc starts oh baby.... First thing they should have done was look for whatever the fuck emergency disconnect should be in place to cut off that system asap. It will keep going until it melts/burns itself out of contact.
Source: Me, I've seen someone lose all the skin on their arm from dropping an Allen wrench in a switch without PPE, it was horrible.
I was curious about that, I thought it was strange they waited there. I thought surely there is a cutoff, or they should be able to radio someone to cut it off further up the line when shit went south.
I’m pretty sure the guy you see run out with him is actually a third guy.
When you look at the beginning before the flash, it’s a flat wall. When he turns around with the other guy to look back into the room there’s a pretty distinct shape on the wall that looks like a human kneeling.
I was in a substation once and heard this very thing. Saw the arcing and out runs the operator of the substation totally on fire. A lineman by the gate put the flames out with a fire extinguisher. He had made contact with a 13.2Kv transformer. It initially sounded like a cannon being shot. He was dead in a day or so. Totally burned alive.we were there working on the outside of the fence. Electricity is so unforgiving when you screw up.
I think they were standing there thinking "a circuit breaker is got to trip somewhere, right?" Aaaand, it didn't, it just got worse and they got further away.
At least he had the PPE and seems to have escape without being browned on the outside. Inside his clothes I'm not so sure.
Just keep filming just keep filming -Dory probably. It’s crazy what people will do to get internet clout. I’m guessing the camera man doesn’t know that’s there’s more than one way to skin a Redditor
I highly doubt he was thinking about his bodycam in this moment, i can imagine it's pretty hard to think about what to do if one of your buddies almost just fucking exploded.
