Stray voltages. This was rather alarming.

Years ago someone died in town here, electrocuted by a grate on the sidewalk.

For the next bunch of months, the local power company sponsored the TV news ad nauseum.

That's culpability if I even seen it, because it is completely obvious they wanted the story downplayed lest public awareness be raised.

But it is not a coverup, and there are no conspiracies. It's called "need to know" and "cooperation". They cooperate to gain money and power over others, and we have no need to know about tnings that can kill us.

Everything is going according to plan.
 
Unfortunately that would be me.

The story was in the local paper, and then the barrage of advertising.

Don't believe it if you want. I just make shit like this up all day. Back when it happened I did not even have internet access. Well over ten years ago.

Here is about the closest thing I can find at the moment :

http://lubbockonline.com/stories/061303/nat_061303054.shtml#

"A pedestrian died on a Cleveland sidewalk in 1987 when he stepped onto an energized metal plate near a bus shelter. A transformer carrying power for lights in the shelter was faulty."

That sounds like about the right time. Why is it in an out of state news source ? Don't ask me.

But that only means that it happened. There is no way in hell I can get you the TV ads and full page newspaper ads that followed. If got any suggestions on how to find something like that I am all ears.
 
Yeah, and you only THINK WW2 happened.

I did not fucking imagine it, WTF are you trying to say ?

That means the OP only thinks it happened. That means the Today show only tinks it happened.

WTF.
 
"If you know the dates, you could look for (and perhaps find and
search) an on-line digital archive of the newpaper(s) in the area. "

Yeah, and find a story on page 99Z because the electric company, which has a monopoly in most of the area, all the sudden thought it needed a multi-million dollar advertising budget, to advertise their exclusive product.

They are a monopoly in most of the county. All the sudden the are advertising like crazy. Just how much coverage do you think their screwup is going to get when they are now a major advertiser ?

I am surprised I could even get what I got.
 
"Seems to me you believe what you watch on the TV and read in the papers is
factual. "

OK, I stand corrected. The OP is false. Nothing has ever happened and neither of us were ever born. Life is just a figment of my imaginatiion.

They were lax in showing where they connected the ground in that
video. I'm sure they did but where? How far from the pole.
The light bulb shows it is not a high impedance source.
I can see someone either planing a lawsuit or starting a business.

Don't bother responding to me because I do not exist.

The story does not exist if it is not on the net.

The metal plates on the sidewalk do not exist.

The wires under the ground doo not exist.

The dead body does not exist.

You do not exist.

Boy I got sooooo much pleasure just making that shit up.

But then I must be lying because I do not exist.
 
"I've been talking with a (relatively) famous physicist who agrees that matter
doesn't really exist. "

There are two schools of thought steeped in that belief.

Interesting story, I wasn't aware of that potential problem (sorry) for
electrical leakage.

So, what some smart person needs to devise is a simple test device that
can detect radiative leakage without contact...like the truck shown has,
but inexpensive...

Alternatively, a large library might still have a microfilm-based
"morgue" archive of the newspapers.

Expect to spend lots of time looking - most such archives are probably
going to be visual-only and haven't been OCR'ed and indexed as text.

Many companies make these. I have one.

Well that's where your logic totally fails.

You THINK it happened because you read it somewhere.



Jesus.

Seems to me you believe what you watch on the TV and read in the papers is
factual.

Crap, wasn't thinking...indeed I've seen those around. I think I'll pick
up one, handy even if one isn't concerned about stray power in the street.

Thanks!

This problem isn't new. I read about it several years ago.

Jurb, this is a long shot, but do you smoke a lot of cannabis?
