1:03 boom

Those are the days when you're gkad you brought an extra pair of underwear to work.💐💐

love it

"OK! See if we fixed it!" *BANG* "OK, we didn't fix it yet."

That was probably a 20 amp or less fuse. You should hear a 100 amp fuse blow. It sounds like a cannon.

I'm not sure what i just watch. What caused it to blow?

You know you are a lineman when the job ad stated "Must be lucky."

had many of those over the years, loud as a shotgun....kabang!!!!!!

I got a fright when that happened

We electrical engineers make stuff for electricians to be scared of

This would have likely been more “eventful” if there wasn’t a current- limiting fuse in the circuit. The current-limiting fuse likely reduced the expulsion fuse energy significantly!

This video does NOT do it justice... The sound is more like a shotgun going off. When this happens when you're doing this from the ground... rain of fire. It's fun. But that is what fuses are for.

Well that’s why the fuse was blown

1:03 the explosion

This is what a third world country in disguise looks like

These dudes are really special. I've seen these guys wading chest deep in swamp water full of snakes and gators after a hurricane. They really are some heroes in their own right

I bemoan the fact that women are underrepresented in these jobs! F@@king patriarchy…

Duck crossing!

It seems like the guy filming knew that Augey would blow it. Fucking kids.

Kid named fuse💀

Tem que ter muita coragem.

Haha go back and ride it out boys bird dog missed something

Why don't they turn off the power, so that he can do the job in safety !? . Then you wouldn't get the situation that we are Witnessesing.

This is normal, rookie forgot to slam it in.

One question, why don't they switch the power off to that one line and then do the work ? Wouldn't it be much more safe ?

I am interested in becoming a lineman, any advice? Been looking at line schools, wanting to join an ibew later on.

Is there a way to learn on the job to become a lineman with "professionals"? Maybe up North? I will move out of state if I have to. I'm wanting to become a lineman but I have family that are lineman and they say there's a bunch of hazing & stuff and that doesn't fly with me... I'm late 30s, have degrees, and kind of a serious person as In when I'm at work I wanna work and not be a jack@$$. This one family member said they stripped him naked and he had to run down HWY 45 to get his clothes back, & they treated him like a dog for 2 years when he started, disrespected him etc, and this is a very large company where u wouldn't expect grown men to act that way. I want to learn but don't want to end up going to prison or putting up with that kind of stuff. Maybe up North is different? Looking for insight. Thanks.

Why is the American grid system so explosive? UK ones don't seem to do that.

How dangerous is industrial/commercial work? I’m mostly trained in residential which doesn’t seem too dangerous, with pretty good pay, but if you can guarantee safety in commercial/industrial and make more money I’d be interested

Sometimes you see "rocky the squirl" dead at the base of the pole, and your circuit is most likely good, otherwise face shield, hearing pro and distance.

Bang testing the underground cable? 😢

I’ll just stick to fire watching Drag up daily

Que taro que nunca he visto a una feminista haciendo esa clase de trabajos.

That was a very quiet fuse. Wait till you close one on a feeder.

My son told me the story of bad accident. I pray every morning and night for him and all the men and women who do this.

Get down, change your pants, take your boots and go to the shop. Your too slow, and too scared.

Anyone who turns on a simple lamp or electronic device has no idea how high the voltage is on transmission lines before it becomes 115 in the home.

Can’t even figure out what they’re trying to do here. Looks like a rigged up normal open and they’re trying to tie two different circuits together. I’ve never seen a rinky-dink set up like that with the way the cutouts are wired up. That’s nothing but a booby trap.

He doesn't even flinch.

Cool, I just shat myself

My dad has worked for an electric company since he was 19. He was a lineman until he was 40. I’m glad I didn’t realize how dangerous it was when I was just a little kid.

.... Whoa... that made me pucker up 😵‍💫

Still aren’t paid enough. Lineman should be up there with pro-football players.

The lineman chose to try the fuse rather than using a radar unit to find the burnout out bad transformer. Poor work practice. The original fuse was blown for a reason.

nice 10s, the dragon at 103 was loud.

Lol part of the day. Do it off a set off bashlins

That made my hand almost fling my mouse off my desk lol
