That video still amazes me! I wonder what kind of money that dude is making to do that? Let's not discount how good the chopper guy is either.

I know somebody has to do it and I'm glad there is somebody who will do it, but I'd be in the dark and cold and still wouldn't do it. Hats off to the guy on the wire and the pilot who put him there.

What Joe said. And I'll add - I suppose Keith will come on here and say that the chopper driving ain't no big deal - and Keith is probably one of the few who could back that up. No thanks for me, though! Spooky stuff - makes my stomach hurt. I love the guy's voice. He's just as calm and smooth as could be, like it's no big deal. Bless 'em all.

I was going into town a few months back and saw a crew working the high lines over the interstate. I stopped for about a half hour and watched these crazy fools. It was amazing how the chopper pilot did his job as well as the guys working the lines. I was totally impressed. Thanks for the video.

Fun stuff right there. ;)

As long as you use common sense and fallow the safety protocols it's really no big deal.

But then I'm not afraid of heights. ;)
