He's been telling a similar story for as long as I can remember. Apparently they were experimenting with microwaves and radio/TV transmission towers. A guy that my dad worked with had been warned to be careful, but apparently wasn't. He managed to cook himself, but didn't die immediately. He suffered for a few days, then died. Nastia,
