Powerful Stuff ( 1991 ) VHS Electricity Education Video Ending

[LuvvyDuck]

This was a shocking experience! Poor kids.

[deaconredwhiteandblu]

This was made in 1988 not 91.

[imprintedlife]

I remember this from school. Brings back memories, can you please upload the full thing?

[nancyrowina]

I can't believe they used to show us things like this when we were so young, the smoldering corpse and everything. i remember the whole thing being about 15 minutes long, it would be good to see the whole thing just so I can prove to people this video existed and they used to show it to us in school.

[Bignadim]

was A bit gross with that burnt smoking corpse in the floor back in the day when I was In Primary School

[Duvmasta]

Can you upload the whole video plz?

[JordanEmonds]

Thats why there was a power cut. Thanks alot, had to reset my alarm clock and everything!

[Webbula]

This was by far the funniest video I watched at school, please upload the whole thing :)

[KickinVixen]

I remember there was a lot of these same 'electricity kills' public safety announcements, played with that harrowing heartbeat sound in the background. Remember they used this scene from the video as a PSA too. That was before I got to watch the vid in it's entirety at school.

Lol needless to say these PSAs used to scare me witless at the age of 6. Rightly so.

[teambaka]

OMG OMG OMG! THANK-YOU SO FUCKING MUCH FOR THIS! I've been looking for this one for YEARS now. I know the full thing is about 10-15 mins long, it's NOT just the PSA/tv ad lasting 1 min....

[EvilCreationsCrew]

[TequilaCT]

Just a flesh wound!

[palpatine55]

This is even scarier and more graphic than little Jimmy. But a pretty realistic portrayal of what would happen if someone breaks into a substation and touches or gets too close to the equipment. You usually end up with a crispy critter. When I was 4 - 5 I knew only idiots went into substations. It takes a real grade A moron to go into one.

[wisteela]

Oh wow, that's an extending version of the one they broadcast.

[sim2lew]

We were shown this in a Physics lesson barely 2 years ago.

[KraalThal]

I remember watching two electricity safety videos in school. The first was where a boy sticks a wet knife in a toaster and sees himself as Death (or something), the second was where a young Michael Farraday comes to the present day. The latter tape also had three mini adverts (were they PIFs?): fishing rod touching a pylon, child trying to get a ball down from a pylon with a racket and kids messing in a danger area.

[ModernWarfare24u]

I remember seeing a similar version where a boy goes into a sub station to pick his camera up and he gets blown up

[zog9]

@ModernWarfare24u yeah i saw that one in year five in like, 1999 - 2000

Whats Is The Film Of This Video?

[deaconredwhiteandblu]

I remember this from yr 3 and 9, the teacher said "very powerful information, perhaps a bit too powerful" which is appropriate given its name!

[deaconredwhiteandblu]

@deaconredwhiteandblu oh and can i ask where you got the full video from? I want to see it again!

[Banner1979]

I remember watching this in Y6 in 1990. Our teacher said that that boy was indirectly killed by his older brother.

[EvilCreationsCrew]

@Banner1979 What do you mean indirectly killed by his brother ?????

[Banner1979]

@EvilCreationsCrew What she meant was that if that older lad's brother hadn't been with him, he would still have been alive. Our teacher was a staunch moralist.

[Banner1979]

@EvilCreationsCrew She thought he was a bad influence on him and that it was his foolishness that led to both his and his brother's deaths. I remember the end of this where their mum was about to find out what happened and a very grim song played over it while the lads' female pal cried.  Sad stuff.

[EvilCreationsCrew]

@Banner1979 I Though the ending was sad and gives me goosebumps by watching it just the though of that actully happeing to your best mate and his or her brother just sad :(

[Banner1979]

@EvilCreationsCrew I agree. It's alright kids having fun and all, but tampering with electricity is a highly nasty affair.

[Pyroman1990]

When did you say you were putting the whole lot up mate?

[EvilCreationsCrew]

i upload the rest of the video later on today or tonight

[Pyroman1990]

done it yet?

[Pyroman1990]

I remeber seeing it in Year 3!

[systemofrage]

I remember watching this in Y9
