  • What caused that line to fall? Those suckers are pretty strong

  • very high temperatures, it had been burning for about 2 hours at this point. when the cable finaly swung down it ripped the lights off the top of the police car. lol

  • i live in castle donington lol i remember this

  • It would help if you held the camera still ! Such bouncing around makes LOUSY movie.

  • โลกเราคงอยู่ได้ไม่นานเพราะนี้เ­อง!!!

  • Great footage... I like when it pans to the near tower, looming in the smoke. Those towers look enormous in the vid. Good job.

  • looks like the lowest line on the side closest to you was also burning.

  • Many thanks for posting this interesting vid :)

    Cheers mate, great one !

  • the electric shock was ur last worries the cable weight would have cut you in 2. as it burnt through n snapped the power line u heard the cable whistle through the air at some incredible speed as u can imagine there is loads of tension on them lines. after it snapped i dint hang around for much longer as was a pretty dangerous place to be. hope that sheds some light on it for u dangerous

  • lol i was there fella the fire burnt through the power line just one of them as it went down it earthed on the side of the industrial unit near by n u saw it blow up the sub station about ten miles away . there was the biggest blue flash from the substation, in the distance. kept tellin people it was live n they dint beleive me lol thick fucks it was obvious as the whole area was still lit up!!! n u could hear it arcing the thing is that if the power line came down as it did

  • Presumably the power line was not live. Apparently it fell on a police car . If this line had been live at the time ( 400000volts at 3200amps) there wouldnt have been much left of the police car or its occupants. Also there would have been some very spectacular arcing / electrical explosions anyway ( more spectacular than the fire ) there doesnt appear to have been? Does anyone know ? was the powerline already dead or was it isolated just in time? Either way it cant have been live?

  • It was where the pallet yard was.
