Available Fault Current @ 13.2K will do That...

That HV Wire has very little copper, it's all insul and semiconductor...

Poor Choice...

so do you think it was quick and painless (in the sense, the pain was soo intense, they were well beyond feeling any) or did they actually realize were melting?

Never knew what hit them at that transmission voltage and reactive fault current..All electrical stimuli (nerves) would have been overloaded and burned instantaneously..
