Following the icestorm of 1998, many thechnologies have been developped... Like robots rolling on cable for de-icing or outputting more power on the lines to heat them up...
Even though these power lines were built for icestorm, noone could have predicted one like in 1998. But even then, our network has been made even stronger with more lines to complete the loop. In the US, with their fragile infrastructure, it would have been much worse! See blackout of 2003 and how QC was safe!
Is it footage from when they repaired some power lines by helicopter in 1998? I remember it was all on the news, because they couldn't reach the towers by ground
@godkingRoss Yes your wrong. I live in Montreal, and it all happenend in 1998. The only fictionnal part is the snowstrom after the icestorm, so it wasn't that bad.
These guys speeding away as the towers collapse on the road behind them was the most ridiculous shit in this documentary. I mean, c'mon this is not an action movie! Almost ruined the whole docu for me =).
@Mattboy2388 errr, am i wrong in thinking this doc is entirely fictional, just a dramatization of what may possibly happen at some point in the future? and if that's your veiw, what do you think was the meaning of hurricane Katrina? what the US got FOR participating in the war on terror? lol
prune or completely cut down trees that are at risk of falling onto power lines in such an event. as for the people stupid enough to burn their houses down.. well that's darwinism. we r in the 21st century now, if we can't get the money together to prevent these type of things then we're chuffin doomed... btw, the sound was out of sync for most of this vid
@IdioticTendencies there's a docudrama for u... or a dramamentary... either one.

Sadly only a tragic disaster can bring us all together as one.
