Perhaps, allgood, you or BeatleMoe could tell me what the name of that episode is and where it took place. Either it's 'Pool Neighbor Save: Burlington Vermont' or the first segment in episode 621 that took place in Flower Mound, Texas. Anyway, please upload both of them. You or BeatleMoe. Sorry to bother you. And upload the Next segment in this episode.

@ZMommaL56 The drowning episode you are talking about is "Pool Neighbor Save" in Burlington, Vermont. It was part of Episode 519. BeatleMoe already uploaded the next segment from this episode. If you want to see if a Next segment is up, just search for the same episode number (so for this one, search for "Rescue 911 522").

How were they stupid? The first one had no idea that the lamp-post was dangerous, the second one went into panic and that's what you would do if you saw your brother being electrocuted so the first thing that came to his head was 'I have to help him' and he probably didn't know that touching him would cause him to get electrocuted as well. The third one wasn't stupid because he went to tell the parents.

I loved this show as a child because I found it exciting, but I watch it again today and I find myself literally breathless at every episode.

I'm convinced that Rescue 911 is the most moving, and the most important, TV show I've ever seen. I don't know what it would take to return it to TV, but it *must*, somehow.

It's not just parents. The look on my sister's face after they finally loaded her onto the stretcher and brought her downstairs is burned into my brain and will be there until the day I die.

When I watched them roll her out of the house, I had no idea if she'd come back alive. I got suddenly sick and couldn't eat until I knew she was okay.

My guess may be a ground fault.

The hot wire for the light may have been exposed, possibly due to bad wiring or poor condition of the wiring and/or wire insulation, and somehow contacting the exterior metal of the post, energizing it; ground fault.

The kid got in contact with the post while wet and standing on a concrete surface. With a fault causing the metal exterior of the post to become energized, he provides a path to ground for the electricity, resulting in shock.

how did they get shocked?

[donsell]

sometimes there can be electricty jump from the monitior to you 

[hdyudu]

cause is likely a faulty or lose wire that has shorted to the inside of the post an electrician was likely called in the next day and rewired it

[Lasvegas4everr]

@seymour7ramdin

the post outside should not be electric. I think this is caused by a ground fault.
