They seemed to have no idea what to do? Where's the off switch!?

Why would we need power off comrade? We sold that device

That looks like it might have been an off switch for a very high voltage circuit. They tend to require a lot of effort to open or close, and I once saw the breaker for a 6 story office building break in a workers hand as he tried to engage it. Years of never being used can make such circuit breakers very iffy when the time comes to try to use them.

Looks like the 2 wires flex closer to each other as he pushes it in and they arc to short.

Edit: upon a few more watches it looks like initial arc is further back not from the wires, but hard to tell
