While looking for more Helicopter Servicing Videos of HV lines, I found some
must-see HV line spectaculars.  Sorry for off topic content, but these are 
must see, and will give extra respect for keeping away from even 
neighborhood distribution lines, with towers, antennas, etc...

The first video appears to be firing of CADWELDS on an EHV transmission line 
system..
The others just make you wince, and want to disconnect your stuff from the 
AC mains.
Enjoy:
