So is the crew trying to save her or save their equipment?
The question is, was she drunk, high on drugs, protesting something or acting out a dare. I would have left her butt up there and turned on the juice.
That's a shocking thing to say Frank. (Sorry)
That may be, but if more people paid for their stupidity with their lives without endangering others in the process, there would be fewer people doing stupid things.Quote:

If it is a protected specie she has to submit a remediation plan to prevert future deaths.
I am thinking it may have been a new installation which hadn't been connected to the grid yet otherwise why was the ladder there. None of the workers were wearing high voltage gear either. this woman will probably eventually discover another way to win her Darwin award
Notice how she rotated herself from underneath the wire to the top! Not easy to do on a wire. The circus is hiring. :lol:
PS: Frank missed the joke in post #4.

Thanks for noticing,. Yes, too busy justifying his comments, simply shocking!
The very beginning of the video, she was in position to be fried. Standing on the base of where the insulator is connected while her arm was inches from the conducting connectors. Her hair alone would have completed the circuit.
I agree with others. Either a new installation which has not been powered up, or she tripped the safeties when she entered the fenced off area.
Just found it. Over 800 homes lost power due to her stunt.
