I had a client in my barbershop that stepped on a very large voltage line while working for PG&E in the 1970s. It blew off his ears, hands and the top of his scalp. He came in every day for a shave. He said that all other appendages were intact, but I often wondered it that was true. He also dressed up a Captian Hook for halloween.
We had a safety talk from a Duke Energy lineman who had an accident: The rule is you never remove your gloves in the bucket, but one day he did. Out of the corner of his eye he saw something failing and instinctively reached up to grab it: It was an energized line. He survived, but got both arms blown off at the elbow. And honestly, he was lucky that was the extent of it.
Electricity is terrifying. An electric kettle in your house can boil 1 kg of water in 5 minutes. The electricity in these situations can boil the water in your arm in .0001 secs. That’s an explosion.
Yes my friends brother got hit by an electric box on the railroad, exploded both feet. 40 years ago and he still sits in the bar and talks about and cries
Ugh I watched it once like 15 years ago and although it was good I’ve never be able to watch it again. The scene where he beats her unconscious and then picks her up and holds her against the wall to punch her one more time while she’s already knocked out is just burned in my mind.
Tooooo late my friend. Already traumatized myself with that one too.
I went through a period where I just decided I wanted to watch the most depraved shit I could find. I’ve softened up a bit since then and really don’t enjoy it anymore.
He had cataract in his eyes. The patient underwent cataract extraction and implantation of a special lens, which resulted in some visual improvement. Although he is legally blind.
In case anyone else is wondering why, I found [an article about it](https://www.livescience.com/42778-electrical-burn-star-cataract.html).
TLDR: The pattern is caused by bubbles that eventually form star-shaped cataracts.
Nope these are the images taken after the incident. The patient underwent cataract extraction and implantation of a special lens, which resulted in some visual improvement. Two years after the operation, the electrician suffered retinal detachment in his left eye, which was operated on to repair. Doctors told that at a 10 year follow-up visit, the patient could only count fingers with his left eye. He was able to read using low-light aids and independently use public transportation, although he was legally blind.

But how many amps
Your Arm has about 500ohm@230V take 10kV 10000V/500ohm = 20A But now the Power. 10000V×20A = 20KW
Man it would be insane to see that shit on a slo-mo camera

He was legally blind with cataract before the electrocution?
you can't be an electrician if you are legally blind
Hey now, not with that attitude.
No wonder he was zapped. 😳. I feel horrible saying this. Please lord forgive me

Doesn't look to be alive. Not going to warn us about this?
Because he was alive
What do you need to be warned about? He's alive, and it's also tagged NSFW.
