Induction

I have just looked over this section and seen nothing on there about the fatality of a Brink employee known as Ox. Ox was a 24 year old kid that just started in this line of work, and while he was unbolting a jumper in a substation in Denver was hit with an incredible amount of induction. The line he was working on was dead but was parelell to and energized 230. The local rea had notified the super that they had removed there grounds and advised him to put some up. As I understand it he did not and when Ox went to unbolt the jumper everything hit him. So the reason for writing this is to remind everyone induction and the presence of grounds are very important. No matter if the line your working on is dead. It only takes five minutes to live the rest of your life.
