  • Looking for a series of pictures...

    I once saw a little series of pictures of a man who had the brilliant idea of walking a power line like a tightrope.  The pictures show him walking on the line, hanging onto the power pole, and then erupting into flames.  I want to say I saw it at the Naval Safety Site's Photo of the Week, but I can't seem to find it again.  Anyone know whereabouts to find these pictures?

     I'm aware this may sound like an odd request, but someone had asked the grand question of, "What happens if...?"  I'd like to get the message across since words sometimes don't work well enough.

    I didn't find any pictures but check out this You Tube link.  It should make the point clearly to whoever you show it to

    Highly appreciated.  Different incident, same effect.  I wish you could have seen our employee's face when the poor guy went, "Boom."  I'm going to say it's safe that the message was delivered quite clearly.
