I've seen some amazing disasters, but I think your customer passed along
an urban legend.
38 people taken to a hospital, 8 cars destroyed, coverage by television
in five states; and I can't find any published reports in the newswire
databases. Unless my math is very wrong, I don't understand how a 300 amp
surge could damage that much stuff.
