Some electrician just asploded himself at NetDevil. Pretty scary shit. Fortunetly he wasn't hurt *too* badly. His face was all burned and his hair was burned. Fuckin scary. Anyhow, they sent us all home. I think the entire building's electricity is fried, I have no idea though.
It was a pretty loud explosion though. It scared the piss out of most of us. Luckily lots of people were out to lunch, and a few of the people who sit RIGHT next to the area were out to lunch as well.

Hope the dude's ok. That's one reason I didn't go into the electrical part of my degree. I hate working with AC, especially at higher levels.
Scary stuff though.
Your incident sounds worse, though, but we have pics of vomit :P
Edit: Not that it's a competition mind you.....
Seriously though, glad the guys ok, electricians most have big balls to do that stuff, major respect to them - when i get a little shock, i go into the fetal position.
*edit*
Just looked up your website. Tanner sup dude. I didn't know you were a poly counter.
Buhahahahahahahahhaha!!!
Funny coincidence, I got into beta today.
EMpty and I are on a different project
(but the thread title is totally lame)
"You disconnected this room right? Nothing's live?"
"yeah nothin's live man."
*pop*
"Goddamnit what did I just ask?"
Still, hope the guy heals up.. and makes sure to double check his wires next time.
