ECZNA, Poland — Karolina Petrenko was with her older brother, Zhenia, and a friend at a cargo train station in Ukraine when she pulled out her cellphone and did what many teenagers do multiple times a day: She took a selfie.

That ordinary act had a disastrous outcome. As a train passed nearby, an electrical current arced to her phone, sending 25,000 volts of electricity through her 13-year-old body.

  25,000 volts to run a train?  Or just leaving 25 kV cables within arcing distance of a passenger on a platform?

Yeah, no.  Something doesn't add up here.  Probably was on a roof or pole (or a very tall Pole).

edit:  A "cargo train station".  I guess her GPS wasn't working and of course no 13-year-old knows how to read a map any more.

Are you being agist, sexist or both? Racist too?
Why do you hate white males? Why you you defend teen girls?
