PCP & ELECRICITY DONT MIX WELL ... *(GRAPHIC CONTENT) The guy below is high on PCP and possibly trying 2 kill himself.
(kinda hard 2 tell when someone's on PCP whether they are being madly adventurous, or have a death wish - but more than likely both) This situation lasted 4 about 45 minutes. The guy had already walked from a previous power pole by means of walking on the low voltage wire and hanging on 2 the other wire that was around him. The Power Company had denergized the low voltage wire at this point. What you see now is this person on PCP accending 2 the level of HIGH VOLTAGE. (4 all u 'Overhaed junkies' out there, the wires above him at this point are energized at 16,600 volts) 
The person who was on PCP at the time, then reached out his hand and grabbed the conductor...at that instant 16,600 volts shot through his body. If u can believe it, the guy is inside the ball of fire that u see. He did not fall at that moment. The air surrounding him became ionized and began 2 conduct and actually burn. The small ball of fire that u see 2wards the bottom near the street lamp is where the arc went 2 ground through the secondary conductors. Notice the whipping action of the wire he is holding on2. 
As u can see, The ball of fire has started 2 subside. If u look closely u can see his legs at the bottom of the fire ball - he is still standing on the crossarm. 
A flash of eletrical power of this magnitude would kill most people. If you can believe it, this guy survived the contact with the high voltage and 2 this day is still alive! If u made it to this point - U GOT GUTS!!! Just thought I'd share...
