Narrative

On March 14, 2024, at 1:04 p.m., an employee was conducting a class for students showing how power moved through a city using an electrified model city. The employee was presenting from behind the display holding the activation switch in his left hand and a hot stick in his right hand. The employee reached over the top of the display with the hot stick to reposition a piece on the display and received an electric shock.
