Previously, Suspilne told why so-called hooking is common among teenagers, what the legal responsibility is for it, and the dangerous consequences.
The railway's overhead contact line is under a voltage of 27,000 volts. This is over 120 times more than in household sockets in homes. You can get an electric shock even without touching the wire, Ukrzaliznytsia notes.
