I bet the guy in the red car in the second video had to clean his front seat when he got home! If the first blast didn't get him the second one did.

Years ago, my buddy and I were coming back from Nogales, AZ and stopped at a gas station for fuel. While my buddy went in to pay, I was looking off to the south and heard a hell of a bang behind me. I turned around in time to see a kid running from a small substation and a body falling from a transformer. I went running over there, horrified that some kid had managed to climb up there and get fried. Turned out it was a chimp dressed in kid clothes. I can still see one of his hands smoking on the power line. That gave me nightmares for a long time.
