Power line accident, 345KV explosion!

[4year4thyear]

That was no accident.



[WolfGuy100]

What with the horn sounding before the explosion? o-O

But wow, what an explosion!

[weeardguy]

@WolfGuy100 Well... maybe because an explosive charge is about to be ignited? If you don't cover your ears in time you will be deaf for a while....

[Spartan117JMC]

[viperzeroone]

That's an explosive splice, not an accident.

[acahurricane1275]

sounds like a hella loud ford airbag

[Shikhar889]

hey can you see the magnetic lines that appears just before the explosion

[Mocodan1232]

and thats why you dont climb up and get your kite

[flyingpigstuff]

When monkey grips are simply not big enough - use C4....

[carpas13ot]

There was a problem with the deadend on the tower. they use explosives for a lot of reasons: to fused things or in this case to remove the jumper. u can see the damaged equipment to the right of the deadend bells.

[Stickymajorwow]

what did yall use for the exposive??

[Lim2ish]

The explosion happened on 0:15.

[Fluvance]

Press 6 then 7 over and over XD

[acdcrockist]

[Eddiecurrent2000]

We still use the hydraulic crimps in the UK, I'd love to use this method and scare the shite out of the locals LOL!

[talktalkmodem]

thats called a quick weld using thermite and gun powder at high vloucty

[Carbonized433]

Cameraman shat himself.

[KaRRiba1]

электрики развлекаются)

[Budtooz22]

@KaRRiba1 Yes they do!

[Budtooz22]

Yes they do! 

[foozbong]

"...I guess we should get some rubber gloves..." LOL

[natdavi]

damn all this time i've been using pliers to crimp!

[SigEpBlue]

When a big set of crimpers just won't cut it, I'll keep this method in mind.

[devarkk]

Looks like an explosion weld to me.

[soundseeker63]

Impressive bang, but they are just splicing that jumper loop together.

No accident.

[SittingMooseShaman]

...damn; It's ALWAYS such great fun!

[3annoyingorange]

Sounds lile my shotgun... PEEW

[wasteconnectionsdude]

i heard someone say fire in the hole

[megs905]

thats a cool small fireball!

[KnittingPasta]

dang, is that what you call welding????!!

[Glockfan24]

Holy hell



[SittingMooseShaman]

...blast cable-weld.

[Ilovelazers]

pause at 0:15

[mustange550]

How is this an Accident , looks like they were doing some type of maintenance.

[Sidewinder9877]

This is not an electrical explosion, its the power company using explosives to splice their lines.

[uNcl55]

holy fuck!

[CycloneChilli]

What is that beeping?

[JimBobWhoRocks]

@CycloneChilli the beeping is their safety warning to stand clear, they're getting ready to blow something up

[SittingMooseShaman]

...a "dead-end" implosive(shaped-charge) cable-weld.

[TheKevinChannel1]

Looks lime dem squrrels chewd up the dern wire

[gargus87]

the camera guy just shited his pants lol

[jhhines1]

They were using implosive sleeves for the 345 dead-end.

[DSigler02201989]

damn was there an m80 hidden? lol

[ki4hou]

They are setting a crimp with an explosive charge. It's not a short circuit or an accident of any sort.

[DJSpikesan]

@ki4hou That's how they install crimps? Damn.

[GeneralPurposeVehicl]

@ki4hou But it does look like they may need to try again because of the damage.

[Dumbrarere]

@ki4hou obviously the title was a joke. he knows exactly what it was, but he made a title as a joke

[08Kutt]

@Dumbrarere you are really intelligent :3

[tall32guy]

That's not an electric short circuit; it's an explosion they used to work on the power lines. :)

[08Kutt]

@tall32guy yes! XD

[KG84C]

@08Kutt Where's the short circuit? What planet are you on?

[08Kutt]

@KG84C i'm from a planet called: "The Title and description help your video earn more views" xD

[KG84C]

@08Kutt Your madder than a clowns cock.

[DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

@tall32guy Exactly... I watch several of these implosion welds for the new lines at the nuclear plant I work at. They sound like cannon fire and are fun to watch.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

@tall32guy isnt this how they weld the temporary circuit bypass so they can work on that section of line?

[tall32guy]

@Pimpmastahanhduece I have NO idea! LOL I know nothing about transmission line work or setup. I just know it's part of something they do in setting up a new line...

[viperman5686]

@tall32guy What are the explosions for?

[tall32guy]

@viperman5686 To do some kind of welding of the power line joints or some such.

[stenkind]

Looks like "explosion welding".

[CrashByron]

Some how I think they knew that was going to happen so I doubt it was an accident. I have seen this done in person and it is freaking loud!

[letseeitplease]

wow that was cool,,,,,,,, sounded like a giant firecracker ,,hey do you guys wear ear protection when your expecting a big bang from those lines?

thanks for posting your video because stephen said so
