Where I worked we use to make batteries for the Navy. Didn't matter who was the party in power. When the Navy came everything got a new coat of gray paint!
One of the places I worked made Uninterruptible Power Supplies for the Navy.
Once one of my co-workers managed to short one - that had 18 car batteries for back-up.
It made a plasma ball about the size of a soccer ball. Vaporized everything, just like in Terminator when the "characters from the future" go through time and there is a spherical void.
Then the Asshole VP of manufacturing made the manufacturing workers work - and breathe that smoke for about 5 hours.
9 months later ... one of my favorite co-workers, Larry T, came back in with 2 firearms & killed the Asshole VP.
Larry T. was one of the employees that was forced to breathe the toxic smoke.
Will always wonder if there was a connection.
