What do you think?

If you have some good pics of magic smoke in action, feel free to post them
We just had some magick smoke let out. We are trying to figure out why. I was the operator and aparently the hopper was smashing into some wires, and damaged the insulation enough so that... ooopps, black, red, power, ground, poof!

Thought I'd share the story since it happened 10 minutes ago as of now.

Two wires touched.
