17,000 volts AC at 16 hertz can cause a lot of damage if bridged by frozen water. I wouldn’t want to be nearby.

What’s a “thermic event,” an explosion set off by Muslims?

Why can’t they simply call it a short circuit caused by icicles touching the third rail?
“Thermic Event”, huh?

A “thermic event”

“overseas contingency operations”
“kinetic actions”
“affordable health care”
“man-caused disaster”

25Hz power came from the design RPM of the Westinghouse Niagra Falls turbines, which were designed before alternating current became the standard. They could not change the hydraulics, so they had to chose between 16-2/3, 25, and 50Hz. 16-2/3 caused flicker, and 50 didn’t work for the motors of the day, so they settled on 25.
