Local newpaper story about two dudes that got drunk. Climbed a security fence (or two) and up a pole the carries the power lines for the Boston to NYC Accella train.

Up on the pole is a platform to sit on. They did. One of them got too close to the 26,000V power line and was blown clear of the platform (and to pieces no doubt).

He died instantly. His buddy was actually burned from the flames and sparks. He lived.

Moral: Don't drink and fry.
