When I was in like fourth or fifth grade, I lived in an apartment complex right next to Pacific Coast Highway in Lomita, CA (which, for those who live in that area, know it's a *snip* of a highway) and at the corner of our block a transformer blew up, injuring a bunch of people and killing one, and screwing up a bunch of vehicles, and knocking out a ton of people's electricity. I was in school at the time so sadly I didn't get to hear it, but when I was walking home I got to see the giant mess it made.

By some crazy miracle of Southern Californian engineering, our power wasn't affected though. o_O
