Why would you wire a 1 farad capacitor to anything if you didn't know

Well, I heard a guy drop a spanner into a 1 farad 3kV capacitor one
day. He was temporarily blinded, permanently deafened in one ear, and
the rest of us at that end of the building were left with ringing ears
for a few days. The spanner disappeared entirely..................

Don't mess with big radar sets!

They let someone who doesn't know anything about electronics mess with
radar? Does the BAA know this?

The BAA doesn't use missile guidance systems AFAIK..................

Besides, the techie was very experienced. BTW, in the same building
there was an ex-Navy guy who was missing his right forearm, because he
had been a sunbmariner and his wrench slipped, slamming down
againstthe main battery buss. Took off his hand and wrist before
melting. He was highly trained, too...................
