Every once in awhile there is also a story about either a disgruntled 
(former) employee or an outsider managing to get into a CO or other 
technical space and electrocuting themselves when they try to cut out live

(presumably) does it to make some kind of statement or cause their 
(former) employer headaches.  Neither is particularly bright....
