I can't stop watching that... and yes, it does have something to do with my name. I LOVE the way electricity acts...

After I saw a 300VAC Klystron (think really BIG Capacitor) basically pick up a 300lb man and toss him across the cockpit of a P-3 like he was some sort of Raggedy Ann doll I've always respected electricity.

Yes, the man survived.

Yes, I had to perform CPR on him.

One of the 'perks' of being a fully qualified Avionics Technician in the Navy.

Yikes. To the jolt and the CPR ;)
