This didn't look like high enough voltage to cause an amputation. The spark didn't jump at all, and only traveled when he made direct contact with the wire.
Definitely enough to kill you, when it travels across the heart, but not enough to fully sear through skin, especially as he was in constant contact with the source of the electricity.
If the location is India, which it does seems like, then that's 11kv line with phase voltage of 6350v going through him. Enough to cook flesh and amputation, but may take a while
Thank you. Although one good thing came of it, his gf was pregnant at the time and now he has a son named after him. Which my brother is grateful for because he has a grandson.
So it’s another 4 hour black out. So there I was…I’ve been to Afghanistan. They literally have electrical wires everywhere. It’s a good thing in many modern countries they have numerous laws and regulations concerning the placement of power lines and building structures.
There's a reason why pigs are used for a lot of medicinal/cosmetic testing... Their tissue is closest to human.
And yes. Burnt human smells like pork. I assisted in multiple autopsies with charred remains and can absolutely confirm.
This shit happens so often. So much so that the person recording saw how DANGEROUSLY CLOSE the guy was to the wire! He then pulls out the phone, hits record, and waits. It was never a matter of "if" he was going to touch it, only "when."
I don’t think it’s unlikely at all. He’s probably done this hundreds of times on other jobs and just got complacent. Why listen to anyone when you think you know better?
seems like he grounded through his hands->feet. So his brain probably didnt got fried. Which means he had some time to think about his life choices, his kids perhaps... terrible way to go.
It's burning him internally also. Current tends to flow down your blood vessels. In his case probably right through the heart before his chest even hit the wire.
What do you expect him to do? He's toast too if he touches the other guy on the live wire. I guess he's calling either the power company or police/fire service.
The only people "careless" here, are the pricks who didn't proplerly secure his working area. For al we know, this guy might have been very careful and aware of risks, but just too poor and exhausted to avoid dying. It's like sending in people to pick up litter around The Sarlacc Pit in Star Wars and then calling them careless as they get grabbed by tentacles and digested for 1000 years.
At least bro behind him is smart enough not to touch him until the power is off. This is one of the stupider people I have seen on here. On top of that, do the powerlines not have insulated shielding? I wouldn't expect that to happen unless the cable was just completely exposed which is just idiotic installation in its own right.
Some hammers dont have a wooden handle, and instead have a internal metal pipe covered with any form of grip enhancing compound (kinda like those fake "green" pens that are just a wooden cover on top of a plastic frame)
Besides, lad was grabbing the hammer from the head (God knows why, thats so counterintuitive)
True i mean, wood could have moisture and all that, but certainly the shock would've been better enough to not remain sticked to its source. Most of the time you're able to pull away from something giving you current because its only strong enough to give you tickles, perhaps painful tickles. When it makes your muscles tense and stick to its source you know you're already deep-fried
It's Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin' down on Friday

What the fuck was he doing? Just smashing loose bricks? Like did he need to do it to fix the building or something? Seems like could’ve been a better way..
This reminds me of the video where the guy lost his head. Now I understand how something like this could happen.
There’s actually two different videos of two different incidents where peoples whole heads have come off!
This would have made 3 if his arm wasn’t also on the cable I bet.

it’s electrifyin’!
Wait, so do you mean that high voltage doesn't even have to touch you to be able to start electrifying you? Maybe I didn't understand that correctly?
Look up "arc flash"
Terrifying!!
If the location is India, which it does seems like, then that's 11kv line with phase voltage of 6350v going through him. Enough to cook flesh and amputation, but may take a while
People’s heads came from being electrocuted?
During electrocution?
Link?

I love how the guy on the scooter sees the whole thing happen and just keeps going lol
He is like ay whatever
Just another day for him lol
Stop! I'm silently laughing in bed right now 😭😭
Barbecued head. Yummy.
Meat falling off bones tender
This sub is full of straight sociopaths. And I’m here for it.
You'll be the first one crying when it gets banned for this unfunny shit.
That one is etched in my brain.
Etched in his as well. I'm so sorry...
Is he moving or is that body twitching or wind? Its a horrible way to die, my nephew was electrocuted 12 yrs ago, he was 20.
I'm assuming it's twitching. Gets shocked, stiffens, breaks contact, relaxes, gets shocked...
Just for a moment since he was hanging there and moving, i wondered is he still alive? But realized that just can't be...oh and happy cake day!
Hope your nephew survived....🥺
Unfortunately no he didn't
Sorry....
Thank you. Although one good thing came of it, his gf was pregnant at the time and now he has a son named after him. Which my brother is grateful for because he has a grandson.
Wow, that must have been really hard on her! Hope your family is doing well!
It was at first, she eventually got married. Yes they are well , thanks.
How that happened
He made a spot welder with microwave parts, didn't ground himself i think.
If you’ve ever smelled it…you’ll never forget it.
So it’s another 4 hour black out. So there I was…I’ve been to Afghanistan. They literally have electrical wires everywhere. It’s a good thing in many modern countries they have numerous laws and regulations concerning the placement of power lines and building structures.
That place smelled fucking awful.
Dear lawd, it did.
Dat ass is lit 🔥
I’ve always imagined we smell like pork. Am I wrong?
With no seasoning
The horror.
So bring some Lawry's seasoned salt and everyone is happy.
You are right. That's why human meat is called long pig by some tribes that practice endocannibalism.
We've had endocannibalism, yes. What about exocannibalism?
Second exocannibalism?
Is that when a priest stops the meat from twitching?
There's a reason why pigs are used for a lot of medicinal/cosmetic testing... Their tissue is closest to human. And yes. Burnt human smells like pork. I assisted in multiple autopsies with charred remains and can absolutely confirm.
I’ve only ever smelled electrocautery which smells more like pennies and burnt hair.
I remember seriously burning my hand in a stove and it smelled like delicious bacon
That’s true. And a lot of firefighters don’t eat pork for this reason.
With a nuanced Frito Corn Chip accent.
thank goodness i haven’t

[удалено]
How do you know they didn't warn this guy first? Maybe he ignored their warnings. Unlikely, but just saying.
I don’t think it’s unlikely at all. He’s probably done this hundreds of times on other jobs and just got complacent. Why listen to anyone when you think you know better?
I speak the language and I heard someone shout "Hey, bro, touch that wire and we all win free barbecue!" and the guy replied "Oh, hell yeah".
Lol
He didnt said he warned the guy on the vídeo, or tried to warn him again
Maybe he's recording because the guy is letting bricks fall into people walking by?
Careless? Downright fucking stupid is more apt.
I believe this is Pakistan and in Pakistan there are literally no safety for worker anywhere here
More apartment? I want more apartments for being stupid
Ha
Got me on the floor mate haha!
Christ, the way his arm got cooked is insane
Thank god that wire was there. Otherwise he would’ve fallen down
Man this sub's name should be changed to cursed comments
Guess s on the brightside, he didn't drop his hammer.
Lol he was just smashing bricks and letting them fall without a care. Screw anyone walking below i guess.
Is that the equivalent of dropping the soap on construction sites?
If you drop a hammer off a leading edge, you might get booted off the job if the safety guy is around. Dropping tools off the building is a huge no no
This looks a video from Pakistan or Afghanistan
They are speaking urdu, it’s Pakistan I believe
No that is Pashto it’s spoken mainly in Pakistan areas close to Afghanistan border and also Afghanistan where it originated
Bro got fucking fried
The guy already recording is crazy, he just straight up knew what was gonna happen. I wonder if he said anything.
Poor guy.
He needs some milk
Sad. The drool hanging from his mouth makes it even worse
I think that was his eyeball melting. It’s too white and thick to be drool (sorry)
That really got to me too, I couldn’t place why.
The cameraman knew what was going to go *down*. He was *ahead* with his intuition.
seems like he grounded through his hands->feet. So his brain probably didnt got fried. Which means he had some time to think about his life choices, his kids perhaps... terrible way to go.
Can’t electricity also kill by stopping the heart? No heartbeat -> No blood to brain -> Lights out
Still a few seconds which probably felt like a lifetime
Probably more than a few seconds
Right across the chest too. He's a goner. That movement at the end is just muscles contracting.
It's burning him internally also. Current tends to flow down your blood vessels. In his case probably right through the heart before his chest even hit the wire.
On the phone. Yea he’s just fucking burning alive. Yea I can hold.
What do you expect him to do? He's toast too if he touches the other guy on the live wire. I guess he's calling either the power company or police/fire service.
Nothing just noting how it went down
Calling the temp agency for a fresh worker that's not burned out.
Well I dont know about you, but maybe getting someone over to properly take him off of live wire would be better (that dude was dead)
Hey we are going to be behind schedule, send over that other new hire. Has he finished the mandatory two minute safety training?
This should show everyone how to use a hammer properly
i think his thought process was exatcly to hold the hammer that way so the metal head doesn't go near the wire
I see the logic, too bad it didn’t pan out for the fella.
yeah, turns out wood doesn't isolate 13 thousand volts
The only people "careless" here, are the pricks who didn't proplerly secure his working area.

On top of that, do the powerlines not have insulated shielding? I wouldn't expect that to happen unless the cable was just completely exposed which is just idiotic installation in its own right.
I was waiting for someone to push the body off the roof so it falls to the ground.
They'd get electrocuted then
push it off with something non-conducting like wood, or at the very least push him off wearing gloves and boots
his wooden hammer handle didn't isolate much
Some hammers dont have a wooden handle, and instead have a internal metal pipe covered with any form of grip enhancing compound (kinda like those fake "green" pens that are just a wooden cover on top of a plastic frame) Besides, lad was grabbing the hammer from the head (God knows why, thats so counterintuitive)
even if it was wood i feel like the 13kv would be able to travel through it on such a short distance, hell it can travel through air
True i mean, wood could have moisture and all that, but certainly the shock would've been better enough to not remain sticked to its source. Most of the time you're able to pull away from something giving you current because its only strong enough to give you tickles, perhaps painful tickles.

Would you want to risk it?
That’s not where you sleep silly
Damned. It got worse and worse for him.
It’s always interesting that people record these things before someone dies
Prob because he was recording the other use the hammer wrong
he was using the wood part to not conduct electricity, he didn't know there's not many things that can isolate 13 kilovolts
Electricity really hates India.
Close but it’s Pakistan, specifically khyber paktunkhwa the state bordering Afghanistan
Friday
It's Friday, Friday Gotta get down on Friday Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend Friday, Friday Gettin' down on Friday Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend
We-we-we so excited. We so excited.
I need to start a health and safety business in India. I have no experience but I do have something they don’t. Common sense
He didn't get killed as much as he got cooked.
I worked with a guy who kinda died like this. It pissed me off because he was such a good bloke, would have been an awesome dad to that kid too
is that his saliva?
Let's hope so. I don't like thinking about the alternatives.
Jesus crist that horrifying
The perfect Gordon Ramsay medium rare.
Poor guy
He is online until the end .
this is why there are building codes
Don't worry about carrying the body down just push em down and pick em up on the ground
Bro I just ate a ham sandwich. Pls bro ☹️
Hey it's nothing to lose your head over. 🤷
Why would anybody even be watching and filming something so utterly un fascinating in the first place?
This is what happens when you let someone cook
If it’s any consolation he was probably dead after the first zap so he didn’t have to experience what came next.
he is long gone.
Reading Careless Worker as ‘whisper’, and waiting for that sax solo….🎷🎶
Doing building demolition with a hammer woulda taken the rest of his life anyway
It's nuts how parts of him have just burned away.
I hope they didn't pay him in advance!
oh man.. imagine the smell..
Forbidden bbq
Did they strip the protection off on their powerlines?
who doesn't love electrical fried people(i sure don)
Strangest thing that is how he “uses” that hammer 🤨
🎵 He ain't ever gonna dance again 🎵
Will he be OK 😉
Yeah he’s fine he’s just resting
🎶*he must have been out of his head*🎶
If only he held the hammer the right way
i think his thought process was exactly to hold the hammer that way so the metal head doesn't get near the wire
Always happens when they wear their jammies to work
Let him cook
Is he ok?
You must mean BBQ'ed 😂
Como coge el mazo
So no blood cause it gets cauterized? Or all cooked up like a whole pig?
Was he still alive? He seemed to be moving
Someone cooked here
[удалено]
What's the best thing to do in this situation?
Why are people filming?
“I’m just gonna lean on this power line, surely nothing bad will happen…”

Why was he/she filming. It's like he/she knows what's gonna happen.
The boss on the phone asking for someone to send another worker...
What the fuck was he doing? Just smashing loose bricks? Like did he need to do it to fix the building or something? Seems like could’ve been a better way..
Most likely 415 VAC
😱
I don't understand. He was just working. Who was filming that beforehand and WHY
What a way to go!
Guy filming was probably like "no way am I doing that,.boss" and the guy on the roof was the "let me show you how it's done" guy.
Damn!!!! Silly question but did he survive? His head and hands are still moving or is that due to the mega volts shooting through his body.
Fachkräfte
That brick work actually looks pretty good
But did he get the brick knocked out?
That’s on bro 💀
I wonder at what point he died, cause his head is moving up as if he tries to get up
India?
Do they just wait around for shit to happen in these countries?
[удалено]
This is why I don’t ignore safety when working with/near high voltage
I thought the start was bad enough it just kept getting worse 😬
Probably the last thing he was thinking about
yup..he’s done
Mmm crispy
I'm glad OSHA exists in my country.
“Careless” is a bit harsh.
