Malfunctioning Microwave Creates a Lightshow

Occurred on September 2017 / Lockport, Illinois, USA

: "My elderly neighbor asked me to look at her microwave as she was having an issue cooking RAW chicken. She started the microwave and it started sparking almost immediately. The microwave was empty, the chicken was not actually inside. The sparks were caused by the paint flaking and chipping off, leaving exposed metal, causing the sparks. I purchased her a new microwave that day or the next."
