Sorry to be reviving a two-week-old thread, but I just looked at the TT web 
archives for the first time in six months (used to read it daily).  Skimming 
down the list I saw that N0RQ posted this link to an amazing video: 
http://www.glumbert.com/media/highpower

Not even W6RMK, the resident expert on special effects, questioned the 
credibility of the video.  Am I the only one who doubts that this is real?  
Power line experts AD3F and VE6YC imply that things like this happen, but can 
anybody say that people actually do this?  Even flying the helo that close to 
the lines seems nuts, and the video of the worker sitting on the lines, shot 
from slightly below, seems unreal.
