Now imagine trying to hit the outlet switch after coming back to the room, completely shitfaced at 4am to find the plug smoking. Better not brush the metal, it's like the world's deadliest game of operation.

IIRC, that's an Australian outlet which puts out 220v so yeah.

That sounds very wrong. 220 amps is a lot of electricity for a wall socket. Granted I'm not an Australian but that kind of amperage would trip a lot of breakers / blow a lot of fuses for hotel loads

"Amps, not volts", refers to what kills you.

Also here's the US Navy electrician who killed himself with a 9V battery.

Australian breakers still trip at 15-20 amps which is sufficient to kill (by like two orders of magnitude). V = IR. The resistance of his body is a constant, so higher voltage means more amps can flow through.

Australian outlets are 10Amp. 240Volt

LoL.

Yes they would. You ever seen a mechanic's car? It's like a loving instruction manual to Afro engineering. Same concept applies. Pros are the worst for doing poo poo the way THINGS SHOULD NEVER BE DONE.

I learned today that Elmendorf was a test pilot killed by the same aircraft type as test pilot McClellan, the P-30.

Ok so I assume that step one on landing a chopper in hostile territory is to choose an area that is not a minefield.

Difficult to avoid if you have no clue that the area is mined.

Also I thought the FAA has always been massive against allowing guns to be mounted by non leo and mil on civilian aircraft?
