Burglar killed by 33,000-volt shock 'trying to steal cable from electricity substation'
Well he won't be doing that again. :shocking:

Still I wouldn't be surprised if his family sue the company for not securing the substation sufficiently.

Ha ha you couldn't make it up could you? There was one round our way like that a few years ago, he thought it was old copper cable until he sawn through it. The whole town went black.

Surely they're too busy expertly fixing people's driveways and roofs to have any such criminal activities going on.

The pikeys are always trying to nick Virgin cable and get a surprise when they find out that it is not copper.:D

It's a pity he was a burglar. He'd have made a great conductor. :Sprint:

I find it disturbing that so many find so much delight in the death of another human being. Yes, he it appears he was attempting to steal something, but there is no way he deserved to die for it, or do you all think, because you believe he was a traveller he deserved to die anyway?

If he wasn't trying to steal he would have not died, he tryed to steal and got killed, his own fault and I for one don't care.
