Can ELECTRICITY pass through Flash light of the Digital camera to your body??? Yes it is 100% true..!

This is a true incidence reported of a boy aged 19, who was studying in 1st year of engineering, who died in Hospital, Mumbai. He was admitted in the Hospital as a burned patient. Reason ??????

This boy had gone to Amravati (a place located in State of Maharashtra, India ) on a study tour, on their return they were waiting at the railway station to catch the train. Many of them started taking pictures of their friends using "Mobile Phones" and / or "Digital Camera". One of them complained that, he was unable to capture the full group of friends in one frame in the Digicam.This boy moved away to a distance to get the whole group.

He failed to notice that at an angle above his head, 40,000 volts electrical line was passing through.
As soon as he clicked the digital camera? 40,000 volt current passed through the camera flash light to his camera and then from his camera to his fingers & to his body. All this happened within a fraction of a second. His body was half burned.They arranged for an ambulance & his burned body was brought to Keshavani Hospital, Mumbai.

For one & half days or so he was conscious & talking. Doctors did not have much hopes as there was a lot of complex issues in his body. He passed away later.Now how many of us are aware about these technical threats & dangers? Even if we are, how many of us are adhering??


Got on FB, What could be the scientific explanation to all these..
Is it same while in moving train..

You found it on facebook? I am calling bull****, that doesn't sound accurate to me.

This is a 100% true. I once took a picture of an outlet and now I'm paralyzed from the ankles down.

YOU ****ING IDIOT.

Why is it always India that this **** "happens" Is it because we all think they are retarded?

Flame or fire conduct electricity. The only way for this to happen is to ionise the air therefore create a path for current to flow. This is one of those Indian fairy tales. I have seen videos of indiana getting zapped by train lines. It is not pretty. Also DC train overhead wires can be dangerous up to 1.5m as an arc can jump no touching required.

Helpful post..



Depending on the prospective short circuit current available at a switchgear line-up, a hazard is presented to maintenance and operating personnel due to the possibility of a high-intensity electric arc. Maximum temperature of an arc can exceed 10,000 kelvin, and the radiant heat, expanding hot air, and explosive vaporization of metal and insulation material can cause severe injury to unprotected workers. Such switchgear line-ups and high-energy arc sources are commonly present in electric power utility substations and generating stations, industrial plants and large commercial buildings. In the United States, the National Fire Protection Association, has published a guideline standard NFPA 70E for evaluating and calculating arc flash hazard, and provides standards for the protective clothing required for electrical workers exposed to such hazards in the workplace.

Near where I live there is a barbed wire fence that routinely shocks people. It follows under a 13.2 KV line for several miles. The overhead wires are like a transformer's primary winding and the fence acts as the secondary windings. Fortunately this make shift transformer has a very high impedance so there is little current flow so shocks are not lethal, just surprising. The high impedance is why I doubt the incident in India happened for the reason described. I suspect some failed or failing component like damaged insulation is the real culprit.
