As they say in the classic movie Wildstyle, watch out for the third rail baby that shit is high voltage.

Evidently the overhead power is just as bad.

Notice how he continues to burn after the initial electrocution? The high power has kicked off something known as 'The Wick Effect' which, if left untreated is WAY worse than the actual shock*!

*Although in this case I think he's had it anyways.

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit.

This was a suicide. He yelled at the crowds demanding something or he'd kill himself.

in the US they are 600v DC, however in Europe they vary from 1200v DC to 15,000v AC. power lines are much more fun ranging from 10 KV to 750 KV.

The electricians at work looked it up on the internet and found that it's at least 1KV or more. Each country is different. It's hard to tell what country it is. We assumed India but not sure.
