One of the electricians managed to electrocute himself pretty badly yesterday. There was a loud explosion and sparks flew all the way up in the ceiling, there is about 20 feet (6 meters) to the ceiling. The guy flew backwards and I thought here we go, time to call the fire department. He laid on the floor where he landed, 10 feet from the junction box, not moving. The ambulance came and loaded him up and carted him off. The guy was clearly in shock.
After that the other electricians found out that the wire he pulled caught a sharp edge on the conduit and simply shorted out. He got about 240 volt through him. It blew a big hole in the conduit and one guy is making a trophy out of it.
The guy came back in the afternoon, alive but very sore. He will be out for awhile, I can't imagine the pain in his muscles.
