Boy trapped in electrified bouncy house | Chicago Fire 

You should try Hulu I think they still have it

It’s been cancelled so it’s never gonna be coming back either

Hi, Ontarian here. They have every Chicago show on Amazon prime

Wait a minute, y'all had this on Netflix???

And australia

I live sadly in a town in the UK where something similar happened, no electric but the wind took the bouncy castle and sent is spiralling down a hill like a plastic bag, the child sadly passed away. It was and still is truly horrific to think about this sort of thing happening

With as much electricity as runs through a power line, you dont wanna push your luck. Besides, the rest of their clothes aren't insulated, neither is the boy. The other guy whose feet were tingling was lucky he noticed it and didnt panic, just stood still.

Main power lines are powerful enough that the ground around them will still host a dangerous current around the point of contact. Electricity will try to find the path of least ionization (Path of least resistance), and unfortunately, a person's legs and waist is more conductive than most materials the ground is made out of. As long as you keep your feet close together, electricity won't try to go through you, as there's a longer distance it has to travel through your legs than over the ground, meaning it has an easier time going along the ground... Until you spread your legs too far. That's when you get zapped. If you get caught in a situation like this, the best thing to do is to stand absolutely still and touch nothing if you know rescue is coming, but failing that, try to move with as little distance between your two feet (or other limbs) as possible. Shuffling or taking too legged hops is the best tactic.

If I'm not mistaken, the metal would only be dangerous if it was touching the ground. Since wood is a much worse conductor than metal (and the electricity it DOES conduct is not enough to be dangerous) the ladder is safe even with the screws.

​@@Angietta in some cases where a really high voltage of electricity is involved the metal ladders on top of the wooden bridge wouldn't have to come into direct physical contact with the ground to be dangerous, a particularly high voltage of electricity may be capable of causing a high voltage electric arc that jumps the gap between the conductive metal and the electrically energized surface

There is two reasons for that. One would be that turning off the power wouldnt immediately solve the problem, since power lines, especially in larger residental grids (which I asume this would be) xan still contain power and act as some kind of capacitors. Thats why "grounding" power lines with special tools is important, but needs to be done in a safe manner which also takes time. 15 mins for both shutting down power and grounding sounds appropiate. But the main reason is that the show needs suspense and a "real" danger to both victims and rescuers, so there is always some made up reason to why they simply cant go the safe and easy route. Station 19 for example is absolutely ridiculous to the point where even non-respoders shake their head and go like "Dafuq is this show?". Chicago Fire obviously had better consultants and avisors, but they still have their "WTF" moments for the sake of suspense.

they were trying to but it would have taken too long. at 0:54 you can hear the dispatcher say it would take 15mins for the power company to arrive and disconnect the power, but by that time the kid would be dead from the fire.

It’s a TV show

Tv show its good 👍

They didn’t lmao, your not fooling anybody at this point

Stfu nobody cares
