Three workers have recently been injured in an accident after they were shocked.  The three workers were taking part in a project to fix a roof.  While climbing up a ladder,  the ladder fell backwards onto a high powered electrical line.  The line sent thousands of volts through all the men, and because the ladder was metal it conducted the electricity to shock everyone.

The three men became unresponsive at first,  however paramedics and other workers at the scene were able to revive all the workers.  The workers were rushed to a hospital for treatment.  Others workers on the scene described the men involved in the accident as "smoking" after being shocked because of the high voltage that went through their bodies.
