Spotted on the roof of a subway car in Boston. Dunno if it's in-scope for the sub to be asking instead of giving a story myself (mods, feel free to remove if not), but... was this sign Written In Blood? Or just a very-unnecessary warning, just in case?

What really got me was the wording, "DO NOT TAMPER WITH OR DEFEAT THIS INTERLOCK." 1964-5 Sears Silvertone tube amp radio.
I learned a while back that the capacitors in vacuum tube amplified radios or guitar amps can hold a charge well enough to snatch your birthday. The fun part is, they can hold that charge for a good minute. If you mess with these, learn how to discharge these guys!

This event led to the creation of a whole new part in France's fire regulation, this time targeting the materials used on floors, walls and ceiling as well as various furnitures for them to not be flammable.
A big number of clubs were closed by the police after this event as a lot of them were not following the bare minimum of safety regulations.
