Darwin wins again
Posted on another forum I frequent and thought you guys may find it interesting. I am by no means suggesting you open the images...in fact if you have a weak stomach or are prone to whine about natural selection doing it's thing I really suggest you don't open the images at all and just use the story to fuel your imagination instead.

If you have ever seen a Cell site you will notice they have a LOT of grounding. Every leg of the tower, metal anything has a Ground wire to try to keep lighting from frying the gear. In my business we know lightning strikes twice. I can prove it with the millions of dollars a year we spend fixing fried junk.
Well #1 copper is fetching $1.60 a pound right now and if you got a co located site and a brave tweaker they can get about $150-250 worth of copper in about an hour and he knows in about 2 days he can probably do the same after his damage is repaired.
Well here are a couple pictures that are making their rounds in the telecoms and Power company circles. Seems some tweaker known for hitting the telcos in the area decided to try his hand at the local substation for some copper.
Well he latched his wire cutters onto a 13,800 volt primary and managed to turn himself into a light bulb.
Lets just say this will be a closed casket funeral. This is graphic and if you got a weak stomach...well you ever leave a hot dog on the grill for say....an 4 HOURS........Thats what the pictures below look like but its a person.

Dude still where he was found after the phone call of " we saw this guy and then we saw a lot of sparks" was received by the PD.
