Shocking Electrical Installations Around the World: Part 2

April 8, 2022
Check out real photos of electrical, telecom, and cable wiring installations gone wrong around the world.

A few weeks ago, we gave you Part 1 of some shocking electrical installations found round the world. These photo galleries supplement what we originally ran in 2015, which presented a series of "crazy wiring" images located 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 Part 2 of these insane images, and leave your comments in the box below the gallery tool for most absurd.

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