I was watching my favorite TV show LOST last night, and the freakin power shut off. Adam my roomate was downstairs cooking dinner and he asked me what had happened. I didn't really know for sure, but I assumed that it was just a power surge from all the electronics being turned on at the same time. Well anyway, I told him to reset the circuit breaker box, because that's what we've done in the past. I heard him stomp down the wooden stairs into the depths of my basement... and then like 4 seconds later I heard a loud KAPOW! It sounded like an M80 went off! I was freaked because I couldn't tell if Adam was ok, so I sprinted down to the living room and yelled out to see if he would respond. Thankfully he was fine, but it scared the bejeesus out of him. We called our landlord Gary, and the electrician was over at our house in less than 10 minutes.
You won't believe this, but someone rigged the whole thing as a sick practical joke. You see there are 8 different switches that control and distribute power throughout the house. It was manipulated, so that all 8 locations would be directed onto a single point (the master). Therefore all the electricity was transfered to a specific area when it was turned on again, causing it to basically explode. Yeah, that's pretty fucked up! Some of the wiring was fried, but all the other parts were replaced.
Why would someone do something like that. My house could of been burnt down and someone could of been killed.
