Entergy Arc & Spark Safety Demonstration
At the fall 2006 Mississippi Fire Investigator's Association Seminar, Entergy of Mississippi presented their arc & spark safety show. I didn't have my expensive digital camera with an external flash. It was not easy to anticipate when the arc was going to occur, and I missed a lot of great photographs waiting on the flash of my point-and-shoot to charge because I fire too soon. Never the less, I did manage to get a few pictures.
