  • 0:28 creepy laugh !

  • ...and I forgot to bring my welding with me!

  • cwaniak wyszedł z auta jak przygasło.

  • lol, @ a 20000 amp fuse. Probably a 200A solid blade.

  • @bamaslamma1003 it Could be a 14 KV Line......you will see alot of older Distribution lines having 7,200 Volts....but alot of Newer Distribution lines will be a Higher Voltage like 14 KV.

  • I seen the breaker kick where the arc was pretty cool.

  • I've got a hot stick... 'Cause it's been in the microwave for the last 7 hours...

  • @patodonaldpato

    yeah... its like watching somebody weld without eye protection

  • Hot stick or not, that was a major risk going after that switch. No lineman or groundsman with any sense would have attempted that without a bucket.
