Shocking Electrical Installations Around the World: Part 1

March 21, 2022
Check out real photos of electrical, telecom, and cable wiring installations gone wrong around the world.

In 2015, we ran a series of photo galleries on "crazy wiring" found round the world, specifically locations in Nepal, Thailand, and India. Seven years later, we're still uncovering unbelievable photos of absurd electrical and telecommunication installations from even more locations. Which one is the worst? It's hard to say. Check out this first group of photos in Part 1 (Part 2 is coming soon), and leave your comments in the box below the gallery tool.

Although the photos might be shocking and entertaining to look at, the tragic truth is they are real images — and should remind us of the horrific infrastructure conditions that exist in certain parts of the world.
