This boomtruck hit a powerline with his winch cable. I watched this video at an OSHA class. I'm not sure if anyone was hurt, I hope not.

  • If you think you might be too close to a powerline you probably are.

  • That was wicked! ;-)

  • Yanks!

    

  • not enough current to cycle recloser. guessing less than 33KV phase-to-phase?

  • @NCTClion1684 I was being sarcastic lol

  • Sorry operator, your fired.

  • incidents like this usually end up with a fatality, they are all very lucky1

    

  • Complete operator error. All booms, loads, and load lines should maintain a minimum of 15ft from all power lines. If load line comes into contact with power lines, warn all ground personnel. If no fire breaks out, try to reverse the process and remain on crane deck! If process cant be reversed and fire (while line is still in contact) occurs you run and jump as far from the truck as possible. Dont make contact with truck and ground simultaneously (obv) and try not to plant both feet on ground a

  • @NCTClion1684 LOL thats why i said it

  • @RICHLES01 LOL yah, so the current can flow through the water and zap YOUR ass.
