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.
