Shocked bear

This video is probably older than I am and almost everyone has seen it, but it's pretty good.

Lucky bear, I bet we get a 100 calls a year to replace blown transformer bank fuses blown by birds, bobcats, etc. Most of what we work on is 14,400v or 12,470 being stepped down to 480v.

That happened just down the street from my house in Albuquerque (in the late 80's I believe.) There was a drought and bears were coming into town in search of food. Oddly enough, if the camera turned to the left you'd see the McDonalds where that moron famously sued when coffee spilled in their lap. (The reason why they say "caution HOT" all over the cups to this day.)

lol, I've seen 3 squirrels launched 20 or so feet up up and away from the pole from choking nuts down their throat while sitting on those. All 3 times the power company came and replaced the transformer.

The dog loved some pre-cooked meat!

What's even funnier, is if you actually look at the pictures of the burns the woman received from the coffee, she deserved every fucking penny she got. No reason for coffee to be that damn hot to cause such severe burns...

This! I too laughed about it when I first heard of it and figured it was another frivolous lawsuit until I saw the pics and understood more from the victim's side of the story. That was terrible.

Looks like it blew his balls off.

I like bears.

Leah and I were driving down 157 near Green Oaks (N Arlington) one day when a gaggle of those annoying black birds were out. A ton of them were sitting on the power lines and all of a sudden POW big flash of light and dozens of them fell to the ground.. It was awesome to see!
