Switch Gear Ark Flash

A similar flash occurred in a building that I work in. The building operator who was a few feet away from the ark/explosion escaped without injury. The damage was extensive. This video was captured by a security camera. We don't know what happened to the switch gear serviceman. Hope he is OK.

This clip was submitted by our member 143.

Wow looks like he was cranking in a switch or breaker and there
was a fault or short.

Not sure what happen to the guy ,but at least he was wearing
protective equipment.
