A child playfully walks around, clinging to poles and a machine while some adults clean the area. The child grabs on to a low hanging power line, causing her to get electrocuted for quite a long time. A seemingly pregnant woman finally notices the child being unresponsive. Upon seeing the child still holding on to the power line, the woman realizes what just happened and uses her broom to break the kid's grip on the power line. A passing motorcyclist gets hailed and the man jumps in to take the body of the child somewhere, probably to take her to a hospital.
After the child was gone, adults crowd around the killer power line, recklessly extending their hands to point at it. A few of them got so close it seemed like there were going to be more electrocuted dead people. People wouldn't stop getting close to the power line that others with a bit more sense of survival had to pull them away to prevent more deaths.

I'm pretty sure the parents arrived on the scene at the three minute mark. Hope she's okay, poor kid, she'd had been alright had she not touched the metal pole :(

So the takeaway is that its ok to have high tension lines hanging practically to the ground as long as there are no metal poles nearby to complete the circuit. TBH, this is probably an everyday occurence.
