I guess if we still had freebsd.cx maintained it’d go up there but instead it’s here. This is courtesy of the one and only Shad - here’s something you definitely don’t see every day.

Subject: FW: Failed PowerThis is what they found at a downed [..] site this weekend.. The tower was
down and its easy to see why…

Maybe his life was unBEARable and he ended it???
Just to clear things up thats the power block that feeds a cellphone tower. They have large voltages running thru it but probably nothing on the scale of an Electric chair tho.
Just for refenece:
The person is typically strapped into the chair, with one electrode attached to the head and a second attached to the leg to provide a closed circuit. At least two jolts of an electrical current are applied for several minutes, depending on the person. An initial voltage of around 2,000 volts is used to stop the heart and induce unconsciousness. The voltage is then lowered to reduce current flow to approximately 8 amps. The body of the person may heat up to approximately 210°F (100°C), and the electric current will generally cause severe damage to internal organs.
Regardless of how the execution is performed, some skin is burned. Prison workers then separate the burnt skin from the seat belts. Alterations to modern electric chairs include padding and inertia style retractable seat belts. The initial flow of electric current may cause the person to lose control over many bodily functions, including muscle movement, urination and defecation, therefore the condemned may wear a diaper.
Im sure that poor bear died slowly as he was about the size of a man and its far less than 2,000 volts running thu a cellsite as far as I am aware…
