Then I bought the DVD when it came out.
Based on that first experience I then went to see New Moon when that came out, taking someone with me.
So, by downloading the film to ascertain whether I liked it I bought 6 cinema tickets so far, 2 DVDs and 4 books. None of which I would have purchased had I not seen the film for free initially.


Ok, back on topic.

For this idiot to fry himself the following events took place
1) He decided to enter the substation
To do which he either climbed or broke through the metal fence surrounding the substation, clearly marked with 'do not enter, danger of death' signs.
Then he forced the door to the substation, also clearly marked with 'danger of death' signs.
I will freely admit ignorance as to the interior architecture of a power substation but I would presume more safeguards inside and signs. he would presumably have had to bypass this.

He then fell foul of simple physics. by his action of penetrating the insulation of a 33kv power cable he suffered the reaction of becoming part of that circuit.

He, through his own actions and not those of anyone else, did a human impersonation of a fly in a bug zapper, and yes, that is funny. And because he removed himself from the gene pool, worthy of either a darwin award if he had no kids, or an honorable mention if he did.
