I drove two 18” metal form stakes through an 880 volt buried line at the Seattle after treatment plant back in the 80’s........it shut down part of the plant...

the inspectors upon discovery of the damage told me I was a lucky fella

Sounds like a plethora of near death or seeing god electrical experiences in the pack. In addition to VAC jolts, I've also hooked up a few good times to high voltage/high frequency performance ignition systems and watched a whole substation go up in one big electrical arc on the next block from the facility I was working at at the time. It sounded like one huge welding arc, with intermittent transformer explosions.

A friend of mine went over to Saudi Arabia with Williams Brothers out of Tulsa to ramrod all the concrete work

Bill told me that all new workers were initiated by using the trowel machine

the spark plug wire was removed from the plug and the new worker was told to hold the end of the spark plug wire , you guessed it , while someone else pulled the starter rope

BAM!

Why is it that the sun comes out during the day and
not at night when we actually need the light?

G'Morning, y'all. Plants go back out today. Until late next week.
My worst electrical experience was with 230v 3 phase & a bad contactor. Blew me about 8' across the shop. All my hair was standing on end.
