Title: Inspection of 500KV lines up close and personal...

If you haven't seen this before, it's worth the 3 minutes of time to see the procedures used as the lineman dressed in a Faraday suit climbs off the chopper onto a 500,000 volt power line to provide routine maintenance. His last statement in the video is pretty funny. Gotta love his sense of humor...

We owe our ease of living to such people as that lineman.
