Accountant dies after charging mobile phone 'slips' into bath

[Mr. Manhattan]

guaran damn tee she was doing this bullshyt

Something is off about this.

Those chargers generate enough current to kill someone. Looking at the charger on my S7, it'll output between 1.67 and 2.0 amps. As I recall from grade school, it takes only 0.5 amps to kill a person, depending on resistance, so >= 1.67 will definitely do it, and for the sake of argument let's assume a 220v charger outputs the same or more amperage....

So that being the case...

I feel like we would have heard about this happening before. Surely someone has dropped their phone in the tub before while it was charging before this. We would be hearing about this every week.

Something is off.

Edit: Just saw the video about the frayed extension cord. That would definitely do it.

I’ve never seen a 220v phone charger. That’s the same type of power that’s needed for a clothes dryer. Somebody lying.

Lot of countries have 220V as standard instead of 120V like the US.

I'm one of those dummies that showers with his phone and earphones in. I Know it's not plugged in but still

You take a shower with earbuds?

If you are dumb enough to use an appliance in the bathroom near the tub...MAKE SURE YOU USE A GFCI OUTLET.

Everyone should have GFCI outlets in their kitchen and bathroom. You can't be electrocuted by ground (though you can still die touching both prongs at once).

Fuk I didn’t know. That sounds crazy to me a 220 source down to a lil bitty ass charger. No wonder the chick fried.
There’s only a few things in the us that require 220 (ac condensers, clothes dryer). I can’t think why the hell theyre using that much power.
110v will ruin your day. 220v will kill u.

To be fair it’s still under 60 hertz right gotta be

 

[Emoryal]

Instant death...really

 

[Mensch Fontana]

What that thang smell like

 

[#1 pick]

220V

 

[Megadeus]

That's not even possible

In the U.S, no.... but It is in Russia. Apparently its a big problem over there, ppl keep getting killed in the bathtub charging w/ the 220v
