The great static debate sparks up -- Warrnambool Standard

Warrnambool Standard

Mr. Frank Clewer was wearing a woollen shirt and a synthetic nylon jacket that apparently generated 30000-40000 volts of static charge that left scorch marks on carpet and melted plastic in his wake. Firefighters evacuated three buildings and ended up confiscating his jacket ---- which continued to give off voltage!
Here is another link that describes the action.
