Guess in the late 60's was working as a co-op student for Bell South doing central office 'noise surveys'. Anyway all the alarms in the place started going off and people from AT&T long lines started calling. What's going on? Turns out Western Electric was doing a power upgrade to Autodin for expansion to Autodin II and dropped a copper bus bar across working power supply. No one was killed but one worker was burned as a plasma ball went down the aisle and burned the back of his britches off, turned around to see what happened and it bounced off the wall and burnt the front side off!
