adair Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 This is a You Tube video of a news team investigation of the tragic death of a little boy who'd died when he touched a metal garage door and was electrocuted. Investigation determined that the garage, which was a recent addition, had been improperly wired.

hausdok Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hi Barry, Wow, very sobering. It kind of makes one realize how important it is to have a complete understanding of all of the little details that we look at when we examine the wiring in a home. Thanks for your contribution to the TIJ family. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Tragic. The death of a young child, the court battles and TV coverage, and everyone trying to excuse themselves for their part in it all...the parents have been through hell, to be sure. This is an excellent reminder for all of those times when people question why we have to be sticklers for the rules, and why the rules are like they are to start with. Once in a while a few half-measures and short cuts get someone hurt or killed. Brian G. Blessed Are the Sticklers [:-angel] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence McCann Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I can't imagine how emotionally devastated his parents are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Chew Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 This was posted on another forum. It's a 3-D animation explaining the technical side of what went wrong. [utube] [/utube] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randynavarro Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 After watching the 3-D explanation, I have a question. Would a 3-light tester really have caught the "ungrounded" receptacles? BTW, when I viewed the video, there wasn't any sound -- maybe its my computer.

Ken Meyer Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 No sound here, either, but it doesn't matter. The video clearly explains what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adair Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I think Joe meant to post this link BTW he was the originator of getting this info out to all of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
