A good friend of mine is an engineer at the local radio stations in my area. About 30 years ago, he was learning the ropes from the fella he was going to take over from and who was going to retire. One day, this old fella had gone to the remote transmitter site to do some readings and didn't come back when he was expected to.
When my friend went out to check on him, he found him up flat against the grid, nothing more than a blackened corpse. He theorized that the old guy must have gotten spooked by a mouse or rat and fell into the grid.

Was this due to RF, or the electrical power to the transmitter?
