Electrical utility guy almost kills me and three other of my fellow electricians during a shut down. We were all standing right in front of this when the guy went phase to phase with the elbows you see on the floor. Just wanna share this I'm happy to be alive.

All electronics run on smoke, if the smoke gets out, it doesn't work anymore.
