The short circuit blasted the thing in two, so she only got a (probably very violent) shock and a nasty burn in index and thumb.
Since my parents were that great, for some reason I (who was 8-9 at the time) was tasked with removing the remains on a hot plug using nothing but an old pair of pliers whose insulation even I found questionable back in the day, just so that I'd learn a lesson or two about grounding and not being a pussy ("Nothing will happen if you're not touching bare metal nor grounded, now DO IT FAGET").
