Electrical substation burns in Redmond

[bassboy923]

well friends of u tube, you are dangerously close to that wierd side of youtube

[RODALCO2007]

That is serious stuff.

The transformer was fully destroyed.

What caused it ?

Overload ? Buchholtz failing to trip TX while windings were shorting out ?

TO be in the burning substation would mean death, for anybody who is near the burning electrical equipment.

Bill must have just switched on his new football field sized 3D flatscreen.

No one called 911?

[aqinthe]

@tecoms100 Maybe, but usually the fire department will not enter a substation on their own.

Damn

Shoutouts to MS employees who bailed the Redwest offices! :D

(only to get home and continue working from there...)

The Google office in Kirkland lost power due to this.
