is that fake or real ?

[herk]

I would think real. Terryl will know for sure

It's for real, but I would wonder why they would let them cut a LIVE high voltage conductor, they should have known it would still arc over, the arc cause the air to ionize, this creates a conductive path for the high voltage, good thing that they were on an insulated boom or they would have been part of the circuit.

For those that think it's photo shopped, here is a video of them opening a 500,000 volt switch with the juice on.

I replaced a lot of wire stolen by copper thieves.
