Actual flames surrounding this guy and yet he walks away from it? Note it's on a tripod page? Looks like to me.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-12-2003 01:09 PM                        FWIW, the Tripod home page belongs to a lineman who has lot of other "legit" material about electrical linemen and safety. I found the site when researching an article about electrostatics in the on-line ESD Journal: http://members.tripod.com/%7EStormTrooper_2/ http://www.esdjournal.com/index.htm If it is a fake, they did a pretty good job of "finessing" the lighting in the middle photo of the glowing body being the brightest source of illumination. Though I do agree the guy in the cherry-picker seems a bit too calm.  |  IP: Logged Michael Harlow Expert Film Handler Posts: 170 From: Faversham, Kent, UK Registered: Jul 2002 posted 05-12-2003 01:17 PM                     OOOH! is Brad moody!  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 05-12-2003 01:18 PM                        I've seen a video someplace that looked very similar to this. I think it might be real.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-12-2003 02:13 PM                     You think that's bad, look at this. Its a series of photos of what happened to some poor schmuck in the former Soviet Union who was trying to steal powerlines. WARNING!

I'm not in a bad mood at all. You must remember text tends to carry the mood of the reader since you cannot see my face nor hear the tone of my voice.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-12-2003 02:49 PM                     Guys, he was not completely at ground to receive the full potential of the 16kv line!!!!

It was near geneva, Ill. and three were in the balloon at the time. I think one was killed and two were badly burned and had broken bones fomr the resulting fall.
