Utah woman climbs substation transformer and causes huge power outage

Woman? Look at this still shot and tell me what you think.

Daily Mail – Utah woman left over 800 people without power for hours after she climbed a substation transformer and damaged equipment during a ‘mental health episode’. 

Witness Ryan Kent revealed that the unidentified trespasser had managed to stand on top of the transformer and was ‘scream obscenities’. 

He recalled hearing the troubled resident yell about ‘how the world was no longer safe for her or future children’, according to ABC4 News. 

Kent also saw a smashed circuit box and a pipe near the scene as multiple police cars continued to pull up to the Rocky Mountain Power electric grid near Gladiola Street and Decade Drive. 

As a result, deputies from The Salt Lake City Police Department were forced to cut power to more than 800 homes in the area to ensure she was not electrocuted during the incident.  more

  1. I cannot wait ’til the Left finally has to admit they were actually celebrating mental illness all that time.

    Nope. Dee’s right. No real woman would climb up there wearing a skirt. “When climbing the ladder to success, don’t let the men peak up your dress.”

    It wasn’t that they wanted to avoid an electrocution per se. It’s just that electrocutions are messy; with enough current it can blow a human body apart with a steam explosion. They really didn’t want to have to clean up all those overcooked lady parts, e.g. penis, testicles, etc.

    “He should have been shot off of the top of that transformer.”

    …have you seen cops do a mag dump? No, they might hurt the transformer. Same thing if the freak fries, might damage the transformer.

    And you DONT want to damage any trasformers. They take a long time to make and arent made HERE at all.

    We used to have spares, but we gave them all to Ukrane.

    Do NOT risk the transformer.

    …I suspect they ORDERED it done, not did it themselves, or we’d probably be reading about flash-fried deputies since arc flash is a thing…

    “Someone told the repellant perp try to induce a magnetic personality by climbing up there, but he just couldn’t overpower his reluctance.”

    …he’s got the same problem they’ve ALL had since President Trump FIRST denied a Communist woman her dreams of tyranny.

    Too much Resistance®!

  6. Judging from the height of the insulator, and I count 23 “sheds”… 23 sheds makes it a 360kV main interstate transmission line, not the regional distribution 50kV, or local 12kV stuff. The 12kV stuff kills you instantly, 50 kV turns you into a giant splatter. 360 kV… That’s kind of in its own realm, that kind of potential will flat out out vaporize your bones, you just get converted to gas and form a residual patina on the surrounding equipment. But the current short damages equipment both locally and remotely. The insulator suffers explosive shock damage, as does the transformer. Transformers in that class have no US manufacturing, you have to order them from overseas, with a two year lead. Then there’s circuit breakers, and the potential to even trip a remote power station offline…

    All kinds of fun. We need to bring back mental institutions, and get serious about protecting our power grid.

  7. Jethro, a great link which proves that tranny is no lady. The left is to blame for this lunatic eruption and these psychos being allowed to run amok. Mental institutions desperately need to be brought back.

  8. yep, at least 230kv. watching the video, looks like a ground was placed on the line. she is fortunate to be alive. know of a couple guys who touched a de-energized 230kv line with no ground by mistake. did not kill them, weeks in the hospital then not able to work and definitely changed them mentally.
