Thats an electrifying video!I have no words for this
This is a current video.
Thank you, I need some solitude.Special jail, STRAIGHT AWAY!
Watt’s the problem?
When I worked at the FBO we could always tell which of the new guys that didn’t play with legos as kids.I remember an old timer in engineering school telling me "if it doesn't fit, stop and think about what you're doing".
The ground power switch is on the jetway. So it looks like it doesn't get plugged in correctly before he turned it on.So, uh, what did happen there?
I see the ramper struggling with the ground power plug, but I also know the ground power switch is in the flight deck.
Are there different flavors of ground power?

In my experience GPU plugs are designed to only fit one way, if someone's able to plug it in incorrectly they'd have to put in a lot of effort. One of those situations where it's much harder to screw up than to do something properly. I've never worked for an airline but I've spent plenty of time with big AC power carts, back in the olden times I operated a gas powered tug/AC GPU with two seats, a PTO attached to the generator, a four speed and a Hemi V8. It was slow but it would've made a great stump puller if all of the weight wasn't on the front wheels.The ground power switch is on the jetway. So it looks like it doesn't get plugged in correctly before he turned it on.
There is a switch in the flightdeck. But that's only for the airplane to start using the power once it's turned on.
