Bondi Junction power substation explodes after suspicious fire attack

Ah. Love the sound 50hz makes.

@NEEQOS I like the sound of 60hz better. It sounds much more mean.

In cases such as these the 11kV ca easily get mixed up with the 415v at the burning sub - sending high voltage 11kV down lines to surrounding houses and quickly starting other fires. Now do you still want to stick around while the power's still on?

@zordmaker I've seen that happen here in the USA (different voltages). Burned down an entire neighborhood.

Not to sound like an "antisocial nutter" (as some may say) but I would be pissed if I was forced out of my house because of a fire a block away (or half a block, or whatever).

But then, who says I would come to my door if there was a knock?
