[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2480065, member: 5412"] I worked with two guys that were lineman in Ponca city in the late 60's at the Ponca city power plant in the summer after high school. During a thunder storm they were both on the same crew that were fixing a downed line. One was fixing the line, and for some reason the power came back on electrocuting one leaving him hanging from the line with one hand frozen. His bucket buddy used an axe to cut his hand off the line and drop him to the ground. They both ended up alive although one had only three fingers on his left hand. Red ended up being the line crew manager later on, and the other ended up as supervisor over all the linemen. One of the most dangerous jobs in the world. [/QUOTE]
