On the morning of 14 April 2006, an engineer was working on a 480-volt disconnect switch in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, in New York, when a blinding flash of heat and light left him seriously burned. The cause, an electrical hazard called arc flash, rattled the lab and set off a chain of investigations. The engineer was lucky to escape with just first- and second-degree burns on his face, chest, arms, and hands. (source: spectrum.ieee.org)
