Powerlines Hanging

One word twit.

I can not believe a person can be so uneducated as to think climbing near a high voltage line is safe. She climbed a very tall fence to do this and got what she earned.

I hope that nothing comes back onto the electrical company or the company that uses this substation. I do feel back for he loved ones as they will suffer from this much more then she.

Let us just say Darwin was right in this case.

Second point is the author of the article should use a dictionary as she was not electrocuted for a long period of time. Electrocuted is to say she was killed by electricity for a long period of time.

She received a high voltage shock for a long duration.

Do us all a favor educate your children in electrical safety and if you have no clue what that means contact your local authority they most likely would be glad to send a person to talk to a group of children on how to be safe when playing or working near electricity.

I have to agree with you Krakyn she was a real twit. With a capital T. To play around high voltage wires is to get burnt in more than one way. Yes Darwin was right that these type of people will always remove themselves from the gene pool.

For those who will she does need prayer as she will not make it through this. The damage done my an electrical shock like this is 90% internal. Basically where ever the electricity when she is cooked and burnt tissue lies. It can take 3 days before the damage started is finished. Hot internal tissue keeps frying nearby cells. I have no doubt she is in a very bad way.


Dang parents need to teach their children about this stuff.

Hanging From Powerlines

Yes good education by both the parents and the local power company in the elementary schools could have saved this teen from frying herself like she did. Then again some teens feel that nothing bad will ever happen to them. Kind of that superman complex.

That is very true so we hit them one in grade 4,5,6 then again in 8 or 9. I have also gone to grade 11 and 12 classes...they are much more hazardous for me as they is smart and catch every slip you make.
