It is an example of how the scrap copper prices are surging which have made a man risk his own life to steal the copper transformer on a high power distribution unit. Copper theft is not uncommon nowadays but this dude has gone to the limit of stealing a live transformer. He was badly burned and an airport was left without power . He has illegally entered a restricted Aquila power substation in St. Joseph by climbing a fence. Then he fell and reached out and grabbed a piece of high-voltage equipment. He was severely shocked. This has caused a power outage and the local airport went without power for hours. The injured man is admitted at hospital.
