Utter genius electrocuted after ignoring barricade and hitting wires downed in storm
2018-03-10
[PENNLIVE] A driver in New Jersey made a fatal mistake when he ignored a road closed barricade Thursday morning and drove on, only to run over live electrical wires downed by this week's nor'easter storm.

As 6ABC in Philly reports, the driver's SUV erupted into flames in on Summit Avenue and Route 208 in Franklin Lakes just before 9 a.m., as the vehicle hit those live wires.

In fact, the inferno was so bad, the driver had not been positively identified as of last reports.

Fire totally gutted the vehicle, and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

#5   Burger-flipping robot.

swksvolFF: Reported as too slow. Article didn't say anything about cleanliness. I too like to see attention to cleanliness where people prepare my food.

#4  Walking up Netherland Ave yesterday, lines down on sidewalk so I carefully step over and the second line whacks me in the head...didn't seem to be live.
Genius, you say?

#3  Curiosity here JohnQC; did the robot underperform or is the punchline it actually did its job so well there were too many customers?

Because the last time I was in a fast food restaurant, and I'm a go inside and see who touches my food and how clean the place is kinda guy. Looked like a damned petting zoo. Except dirtier. And not as well behaved.

#2  In other technical-related news, the burger flipping robot was fired after one day; it wasn't fast enough to keep up.
