What are the odds someone tried to sneak a smoke and tossed the butt in the wrong place?

The Locator posted:I could be wrong, but from what I can see in that picture, that's all telecom gear, not a fusebox/electrical. If it's not a fuse box, why are there fuses in it? e: Not to mention an outlet stuck to the wall coming out of it.

Yeah, it's a fusebox alright. Good thing there's a residual-current circuit breaker on there. The building engineer knows about it and it's going to be replaced some time this year.

I guess this fits here. On of our site managers saw a mysterious door that had a safety barrier on the floor in front of it, caution tape at chest level, and multiple signs saying "DO NOT OPEN". He opened the door. Turns out the room was being renovated and scaffolding had been placed in front of the Forbidden Door. The scaffold went down and I don't know what other damage happened, but there were no casualties aside from the site manager getting his head put on a pike as he got shitcanned like five minutes after the incident.

If it had turned out lazy employees had put up the barrier so they could goof off in that room all day and no one would ever check on them, then he would have been a hero!

If I look it looks like they jammed 2 wires together to make the connection because it wouldn't fit through the hole in the J box.

If I look it looks like they jammed 2 wires together to make the connection because it wouldn't fit through the hole in the J box. What the hell are you guys talking about? The inner diameter of the wires is too large to fit the holes in the block, so multiple conductors are clipped off to make it fit. This might not be a huge issue by itself--oversized cable may have been used, so removing conductors leading up to a terminal connection might not cause any issues due to higher resistance (but if the cable was the right size, then the terminals might be underrated). The only problem I have is that the insulation was stripped away pretty far from where the conductors where cut.

I just don't know what's on the other side of there.. If it's going right into a terminal I can understand that.. but if it's still got a run to go they had to re-connect it together somewhere because if it's too big to fit you need to cut the wire then slim it down then try and get it through, then reconnect because slimming a 2 inch section wont' work if you cant fit anything else in the hole.
