This is the shocking moment two teenagers were electrocuted by 600 volts while taking a selfie on a train track after touching the third rail.
Disturbing footage shows two males and a female sitting together on the tracks. The trio was headed to the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago when the boy tried to take a selfie and leaned back. He was zapped by 600 volts of electricity after touching the electrified rail.
The teen, who reached out and grabbed the girl next to him, went violently rigid as they touched the tracks while taking a picture.
The friend appeared to sustain a short shock himself and immediately threw his hands in the air, as members of the group jumped down from the platform to save their friends.
