Meh. That’s not concrete melting. Something on the ground or the ladder

I’ve seen this posted before with the same explanation, but I feel like it’s far more likely that it’s molten aluminum, not concrete. Aluminum has a much lower melting point than rock, so it wouldn’t make sense that an aluminum ladder is standing in a puddle of molten rock.

Wouldn’t that be the aluminum ladder liquifying? Concrete will be scorched but likely intact.
Crazy how the ladder looks normal from a couple centimeters above the ground. if it wouldn’t melt that quick you wouldn’t even notice that electricity is running through

ok like but how do we stop it

Here in Maryland we had two contractors do that with a ladder while they tried to repair a house. The electricity basically caused him to stick to the ladder and his body fried for an hour before someone found him.
I’m not buying that that’s liquefied concrete. That would take thousands of degrees F.Â
Aluminum melts at 1221F.

According to code, you must go up a gauge when using aluminum ladders. They must have forgot the Noalox on the bottom connection.

Overhead power line should be banned. At this day and age, all power lines should be underground.

Is that MIG,TIG or ARC welding

Cunninghams law in effect, this post isn’t 40 minutes old and there are no less than 10 people correcting OP that it’s aluminum melting not concrete.
Great way to get a post snowballing.

I’m honestly surprised that there isn’t already someone laying face down at the bottom of that, how TF did it get there and how long did it take to make the sidewalk molten??

Looks like the ladder is being liquified. Unless bottom rung was already 1/2 the normal span.

That high voltage line has terrible protection- should have tripped very quickly rather than keep arcing!

Nah that’s just a ladder arc welder. You hook up to the city mains and the ladder is your rod, flux not needed. Hard to get started and not have the ladder stick to your weld but once you get it goin it’s pretty easyÂ

Liquefied concrete? More like liquefies ladder. Look at the first step at the ground. No ladder has a 3 inch first step.

Are they stupid? just push it out of the way.
