A 6 foot wooden stepladder was placed in the 8 foot deep vault, making it quite a reach to the first step. The stepladder was not fully open. The vault geometry (3 transformers on one side and a 4th in one corner) made it impossible to place the ladder under the manhole, which was in the center of the vault. The off-center, partly open ladder and the big step to the top resulted in a fall into the wires.

Incidentally, using transformers which are normally pole mounted instead of more expensive underground transformers which have insulated wires is considered a poor practice. I don't think any US utility installs pole transformers underground.

Going into the vault unauthorized would have been an RPF offense.

Stacy (as far as I can see) didn't have a reputation for outlaw behavior. The default is that she went into the vault as part of her duties.

Sending someone into a hot vault full of bare wires is in my opinion criminal negligence as bad or worse than people driving construction machinery without lights on a public highway after dark. The difference is that scientology gets away with killing their own.

Rodents. The are a major problem for the cult security because they chew through the wires to the motion sensors and microphones all over the compound. Last summer I saw a number of them run over on the road, 3 in one day.

Seems to work.
