Don't bother it's just fake climate nonsense!

Hey mate I hit a single wire earth return with a scissor lift my boss was operating. I took 19,000 volts three times over 11 seconds. I lost both my legs n now I’m getting ready to race dirtbikes on prosthetic legs

Convincing someone with a mental disability (he's got Asperger's) to climb onto power lines would be illegal under any other circumstances

@@mattgayda2840 I bet he needed absolutely no convincing. U could see that by how he shot up the pylon pins, plus there’s naff all that scares Guy, he’s game for anything that lad 👍✌️

If I could I would spend my life learning a new craft trade every 5 years. I am an electrician, but I spend most my free time making projects because I am curious about learning other skills... a couple of decades ago being a Jack of All Trades wasn't considered being a person with a lack of focus! LOL

How long have you been on the submarines Mark?

@@ethelmini I was born on one

The national grit take the power from the power stations and distribute it to the regional electricity companies. Manweb is an abbreviation of Merseyside and north Wales electricity board, norweb is north western electricity board. The regional boards have had many fatalities over the years with people falling from height. Unless the accident your talking about happened 30+ years ago then there’s a good chance I will know of your friends father and what happened and why. It’s a dangerous job but if all the modern rules and procedures where followed then there’s a good chance your friends dad would still be here today.

I worked for eskom before they started to collapse.from 1983 till 2008 Not all the linesman in the world will save south Africa. Becauce your corrupt cANCer. South africa recieved 1.5 trillion to improve the electrical infrastructure to move away from fossil fuel

@@brucespanner6756 and that money is gone and nothing has been done.

@@stoepie1015 in 2008 they were talking about sweating assets then , meaning we do maintenance or not . we used to be one of the world leaders in electrical suppling and exporting and now load shedding three time per day every day . I was there in December in small town . there was only three days we did not have load shedding Christmas day boxing day and new years day . they received the money in October last year

How did you get into it? It's something I would love to do.

@@pdfp24 I got an apprenticeship when I was young and it was through my father that used to work as a linesman

Just be careful. I hit a single wire earth return carrying 19kva. Took it 3 times hell it hurt a lot.. I lost both legs a lot of skin n fried my internal organs. I had 25 surgeries and bled out in 3 of em. Be aware of the dangers because when it does go wrong, it goes really wrong.. the bangs are so bloody loud mate and the heat is just mental! I felt like I was on fire for months after. Four years later I’m about to enter my first dirtbike race and on the way to buying my own farm. Have a good one mate.

Nope

Hey mate I earthed out a single wire earth return carrying 19,000 volts. It sent 3 waves through me to the ground.I lost both my legs and burnt my whole body.

@@nothinyaseehere9449 Nobody cares mate stop going on about it.

@@djturbine7565 na mate it’s apart of my job to create awareness around safety…

@@djturbine7565 what have you done or survived Yankee Doodle? Apart from stray bullets out shopping.. your American it doesn’t matter what you say your country lost the Afghanistan war to the Taliban so seriously shut up you Americans never have anything nice to say… it’s all doom and hatred.. no wonder the planet hates yas… don’t get hit by a stray bullet, stay safe n don’t get shot mate…

Where did you get your kettle from? Flipping good to work in a power cut

​@@SomeGuy-lw2po Thats the point, ive never had a power cut 🤔

@@wolfe1970 ever? I know our power network is good, but haven't you had a storm knock the power out

National grid have apprenticeship and adult trainee programmes 👍🏻

that cant be right surely?

@@tilidie5272 I know, right? Sounds hopelessly understaffed, especially given the pandemic.

They're just pre planning the six month long power outage coming to a neighborhood near you very soon. Don't burn wood, that's a £300 fine!

​@@mattgayda2840 Parafrasing from WEF: "You will own nothing, starve and freeze to death and be happy..."

They have an awful lot of down time, due to weather and logistics. They don't like employing people to do nothing.

How much money do you think they get paid?

@@margetson09 they are on at least 40k a year

@@margetson09 still a fair wage for the job

Well it is the woke BBC after all. I am surprised that they only mentioned 2 genders lol.

@@johnlesoudeur3653 Channel 4 actually, but same point lol.

@@tom.2900 There are hundreds of men qualified for this job, I don’t know what he’s talking about. I’ve heard of the odd female engineer, but I’ve never seen or even heard of a woman actually working on the power lines.

Don't forget the suit jacket and wellington boots (with the tops turned over).

@@s10m0t10nyeah he looked like my old uncle getting ready to step aboard t go t sea 😂👍

@Mark Thompson Luckily not int' thambulance tha knows 😭 lol

@@jaymac7203 what mate ? ✌️

Death due to ignorance wasn't "proper" it was idiotic. They had ropes and harnesses back then but had an idiotic superman complex still prevalent today.

Shush, this was recorded last year and they need to feed the people the party line from the state media

Eleventyfith 🤦🏻‍♂️

Incorrect. Network craftspeople have qualifications in Electrical Power Engineering and must throughly understand and apply these principles in multiple aspects of work.

@@djturbine7565 electrical power engineering degree you speak of is a tradesman degree in Canada just like and electrician there's a difference between designing and running both called engineers

@@joesutherland225 It’s an engineering qualification, I didn’t say it was a degree. That said many of the craftspeople I work with have achieved degree level qualifications in electrical and mechanical engineering and are just as capable with a spanner in their hands as they are designing circuits and substations. They are engineers, not just tradesmen.

Yup I agree some go from trades qualification to engineering qualifications have found those ones to be the best at designing stuff that doesn't need tweaking on install others without the hands on background need 10 plus years before they get anywhere near to built as designed

@@djturbine7565 um I take exception to just tradesmen as I explained most university trained engineers design projects and you get the prints on the job and immediately find stuff that just does not fit as designed then I call the engineer to the job and explain how it's actually be designed only once did an engineer not agree and stamp the change so not just a tradesman a Profesional a peer of anybody involved on a project I'm on as are all the rest of us

Well it depends how you charge it and discharge it... If you treat the batteries "correctly" they can last much longer, but then your electric car get half the reach and it complicates the electric car useage a lot.

WRONG. plain wrong. and personal vehicle ownership that has to end were not making 1.4 billion of them ever.

@@H4N5O1O childlabour for cobalt , fire hazard , infrastructure for electricity , how to recycle , emf radiation in a electric car , price ect ect 🤔🤔🤔

You've almost got it, keep digging buddy.... Do an hour of research into the carbon credit scam and who's profiting. The climate change agenda is a scam and you've fallen head over heels for it

National grid costs you basically bugger all in comparison to the "suppliers" who will happily shag you.

One side of the pylon is still live, and yes you do get pick up

Yes here in Norway the power companies used to be owned by the people and government, now it is all privatized and we have 10 double to 30 double the price to pay to these currupt bandits that sell all the power to Germany ... We the people paid to create the power companies trough our taxes, then our currupt bandits calle "politicians" sold it all and now the power companies is bleeding us dry with high prices of what we did pay for and owned until it was sold for pennies...
