I had originally embedded the video of this contraption on this page, but it automatically played, which was a nuisance. So now, you can view view the video at chilloutzone.de.
(My cousin Eleanor sent the link to me. Thanks, cousin!)
I believe the original video is from the (now defunct) Banham & Tyers website.
I was working the night this occurred. (It happened just after midnight, so technically it wasn’t April Fool’s Day.) There has been much discussion at Atlantic City Electric about this incident, so I’m not going to comment here. (Suffice it to say the fellow in the bucket is fine. I spoke with him later that evening and he won’t admit it now, but he was definitely spooked.) If you’re interested in hearing my perspective , send me a message.
