I've realized now, how we take electricity for granted, if it wasn't for these heroes we, wouldn't have it. Respect the things we take for granted...regardless of the light bill, it doesn't mean anything, unless these guys are at a dangerous job. God bless and protect you all.
This is why men get paid more than women generally. Men are way more likely to work a dangerous job where their life will end. Women usually work comfortable desk jobs with air conditioning. You cannot expect a guy dangling from a helicopter playing with live wire to get paid the same money as a woman sitting comfortably in an office painting her nails?
Electricity is a business like anything else. I pay the electric company in return for electricity to my home. Taking it for granted does not apply here.
Hey, somebody has to do it & I'm thankful its you that's keeping the electricity flowing. Thank you for your service to our great country. Truly the real and deserving un-sung heroes of Americas POWER.🚁💡
Haven't you heard? Electrocution is a favorite Indian pastime. They watch their buddies fry all the time and still think, "Hm, let me grab that bare electrical wire on top of the train." Make it make sense.
My lights, heat and air conditioning are always working and amazing, the people that provide it.......Priceless God Bless them all and keep them safe.....
far away from loud and gleaming documentaries. The music is touching and the sound work of the sound effects is masterful. A beautiful documentary is like a good movie.
Good point. In fact, the line worker ends his commentary with his only 3 fears, among which: women. But that doctor does not make this interesting footage

That's like some motivation words. Dude sitting on cables that are really high in the air and they have lots of Electricity flowing over them and he's married "three things I'm afraid of"
I was a behind a man in line at mcdonalds over 20 years ago, he was with his son and I asked him what happened to his arm( cut off from above the elbow) He did this job!
There is actual risk and apparent/perceived risk - the correct procedures, tools and protection (system wide and personal) can reduce the actual risk to that of normal everyday activities (which are dangerous themselves but found quite acceptable by most folks) at a cost. The difference would be the quality inspection of the cable at manufacture to that 'way up there' in terms of relative cost, working team size, time and accident rate. No doubt today (2021) this close inspection is done by the inspector from on the ground using an ATV for travel (rather than a piloted helicopter) and a camera drone (that may fly up and then hang from the transmission wire for most of the inspection time) for inspection documentation. I wonder if this 2010 process inspected the entire surface condition of the two cables top, bottom and both sides, I didn't notice any mirror used (though he did drag something along with him hanging from the pulley).
I would imagine that drones will take over some jobs like this in the future . I built some truck mounted boom lifts for working on powerlines at one stage of my life and l really did learn a lot about this sort of work .
Fun trivia fact ; If you strike the ground wire on a transmission tower line with a metal tool, the sound that is produced is the sound effect used in the movie Star Wars for their laser 🔫 guns
the line Sparks to the rod with the guy on the helicopter because the guy in the helicopter have capacitance and the AC line it's charging them up positive and then reversing and charging them negatively 60 times a second.
Funny Nym BTW. MOSFET. 'Metal Oxide Semiconducter Field Effect Transformer'. That FET is the semi conductor equivalent of the vacuum tube. Great stuff! Have a 1939 Zenith TUBE floor model radio here. What a beauty. Regards.........
no, it's due to static electricity from the rotor blades, he is grounding the static from the helicopter so it doesn't go through him as he climbs on the lines, he then attaches a ground to the cable then, climbs onto the cables....when he gets off he does this in reverse. those lines are not live. the live HT workers wear a Faraday suit.
I will keep my eye out for jobs with high potential.
THE PUNS.. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
There are plenty of current openings in this line of work.
we trip out on this stuff
thats very short
fair enough, I'll put a plug in it so.
This is the type of job where mistakes are not part of the equation.

Welcome to my life. I'm a fry cook.
This man lives outside of his fears 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
As someone who is afraid of heights, not electricity, I cannot appreciate these guys more.
If you work with electricity, you would fear it’s potential. Sure you’re not afraid of 120v branch circuits, but this is not residential shit.
You can't see electricity. I think that's a bit more scary since you can't smell it or see it.
@@williamcruz7976 you can’t smell heights either
This is what an ignorant man would say about electricity. Not ignorant in a bad way, just unaware. You should have a healthy fear of it.
Electricity will fuck you up way worse than any fall lol
Well if that’s what he likes, more power to him.🧐
I see what you did there
If I were to reach into my imagination to pull out the most absurd job that did not exist, this might be the one.

damn son .. thats a brave man with huge balls .. respect
I admire the incredible work you do. Awesome!
he's safer then any electrician in India.
Yeah, here they don't wear gears and the cables might even break if they hang on with it maybe lol
Than, not then.

Truly amazing. Learning is really great. Thanks for the video so much.

Thought that arcing was CGI at first and I was about to leave the video. Gotta have respect for these guys!
wait.... its NOT CGI? WTF?
There’s 500,000 volts going through the cables. Thats MORE than enough to make those sparks!!!! lol

Hi boss you from
Plz support this job join for me
@Jorge Nitales in Mexico they not even make the half of money electricians make in USA. I know because I asked both (Mexican and USA electricians)
Unbelievable !! Respect respect respect to all the folk who do this incredible job 😊
Job is just livelyhood , we are pushed into it and supported .
i disagree being the doctor to tell women they are overweight is the most dangerous job
painhour lolol

That's awesome and unbelievable at the same time
great final statement
I dunno, those 4 guys who worked on the leaking hydrogen valve on a fully loaded rocket 30 minutes before launch. Now THAT is balls!!!
I imagine the pay is in keeping with the risk involved. If I were about 40 years younger I'd look into it.
ha ha ha i agre with you
This was awesome. Well done video production too.
I got goosebumps just for watching this.
“And I’m married too” 😂
Real Heros!
Its crazy how peacefull this is...
If I got to work in the woods like in this video, this job would be amazing. Inspecting power lines mile after mile over corn fields? No thanks.
Thank you for your service!
thank the police
That man is a Legend
Electric balls it takes! 👍🍻 I learned something new today. I wonder what they get paid, even more so agree with his 3 fears. 🙂
Really nice, deserves more views!
This is awesome.Wonderful electrical engineering!
I see why that would be ! Hats off to you guys
hats off to the police
To boldly go where no man has gone before.
Holy molly.wow salute to these men.working in such like this.bow down to you...no mistake guys....pls
Very fine.
Congrats for brave work.

I wouldn't mind talking to someone in the face to face on this to see if I might qualify.

Equal pay, equal work.
Why is that not represented in these fields.
