The Anonymous Widower

Madness At Hackney Wick

This story is beyond belief. Here’s the first bit.

A young woman was in a serious condition in hospital today after leaping on to a freight train in London and being burnt by live overhead cables.

The 22-year-old sparked an explosion by touching the 25,000-volt wires and was thrown 20ft on to the platform where her friends had stood watching, the London Evening Standard reported.

The only good news is that she wasn’t killed. It probably shows that if say the 25,000 volt cables are dragged down in an accident, you might just about get away with being hit. But I certainly wouldn’t recommend any experiments.
