Authorities issue warnings regarding potentially hazardous power outlets on the Northern rail line.

🚂 Danger on the Northern rail line: Watch out for hazardous power outlets! 🚂

OFFICIAL WARNING: Travelers beware! Electrical outlets on Northrail trains between Büsum and Neumünster could be downright hazardous. Last Thursday, two passengers experienced close shaves thanks to jagged charger pins popping from electrical outlets. One unfortunate lady even had an electrical current shock, while the second incident fortunately left everyone unscathed. Initially, it was unclear if someone had tampered with the outlets.

But worry not, investigators are on the case, tracking down potential sources of bodily harm, as per reports. To ensure your journey is smooth as silk, please inspect each electrical outlet before usage and promptly alert train staff or authorities if you notice any signs of tampering.

While investigations continue, it's essential to stay vigilant. Give electrical outlets a thorough once-over before plugging in, and report any suspicious activity to the train staff or authorities immediately for closer examination.
