Lineman - Most dangerous job in the World (dangerous jobs documentary)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2019
- Hanging by a thin rope under a helicopter, a hundred meters above the ground, but only centimeters from a hundred thousand Volt power line - not many people can or would like to call this their office. One wrong move, one unexpected gust of wind and death comes knocking. Their life insurance: the highest concentration and perfect team play.
Linemen is a highly entertaining cocktail of fascinating imagery, strong characters, and absorbing storylines. The series follows two teams of linemen from different areas over six episodes in their daily work lives - which is anything other than routine: repairing and building high voltage systems high up in the air, preparing for an upcoming task, training for the expected and unexpected, integrating new team members, the relief when an extremely dangerous plan works out.... - Розваги
A highly risky business!! Hats off to these men.
Cutting trees from a helicopter that is freaking awesome. These guys are a rare breed nobody appreciates but are extremely important. Much respect 🙌 🙏
Linemen make things happen !
You guys are awesome!! My salute to all of you
I Salute this Guys...
These are the angels that keep the world running!
Ah so there is no other "angels" that keeps the world running and no other jobs that is more dangerous?
@@kwv4865 ofcourse there are
@@kwv4865 sheesh, did you really not understand their point? Why so literal? Obviously we know there are other important and dangerous jobs. He wasn’t saying this is the only important job.
I hope your next documentary will be about welders like me, such as rig welders and ship welders. that's all and thank you very much
You can't weld
@@bowflexman3485oh yeah? Well you can't lift real weights 💪😂 🤣
What kinds of welding?
Underwater wielding is crazy. I give props to those people
By the way, that's gotta be one of the coolest saws I ever did see. My favorite life saver was the "Partner Saw"...this baby is up with my favs.
Love the narration keep it up
I'm in the school right now for this, I highly recommend it, there's a review on my channel if anyone has questions about the school
RESPECT!
Dude ... dial your drama voice down 99% and let the story do some work. You make it hard to enjoy !
You use that voice with your wife in the bedroom ???
Bart Davis ....yes, so true....
@@LifeofJoeJordan voice is all right, but I’d agree it doesn’t need so much drama in it. The drama comes out in the story, a more factual narration would improve the video.
Respect!!!
Wow! Nice job
230KV to ground with those Ties would have been pretty bad why do they always sensationalize every action that line was dead and grounded
I was thinking the same thing he was touching the tie to the metal support
I was wondering the same but here in FL we do everything differently. Like we don't use the helicopter (Fly) as much as we use the skidder (Moe).
Anyways keep the lines up and boots down boys!
Its the Overhead Ground wire,, it has Fiber optic inside of the cable
That's fiber, it's typically bonded to the structure. If it were conductor The lineman would bond himself and the bird to the line so they're all at the same potential. And obviously not touch the structure and the wire at same time with anything conductive. You pay close attention to your limit of approach and all the equipment your using including your barehand suit. No need to ground and deenergize
Ah OPGW, My arch enemy.
Yeah Okay.. 230Kv power line attached right to the tower with metal hardware. So those twin 18 part suspension insulators on the other lines below are just for aesthetics I guess. C'monnnn
Explain for a noob?
@@michaelstollairetbarceo3287 The lines that were being handled in the video are not the HighVoltage lines on the structure. They are static or lightning wires (or a ground or earth or neutral wire). Often on these high structures that are placed at the very top above the energized lines to be hit my lightning and are connected to a wire and/or the steel structure and to the ground to discharge lightning currents to the earth bypassing the rest of the equipment to prevent damage to switching gear, transformers and prevent power outages. These lines under ideal circumstances carry no load. The other lines are hung from strings of insulators because THEY are energized lines and without the insulators they would short out on the steel towers or burn down wooden poles and the system would just never work. Those insulators keep the power in the wire where it belongs. Thats why power lines everywhere overhead are always attached to some grey or brown or glass object and not just tied to poles. (colors may vary)
@@joshk4843 thanks
and he said high speed internet witch those aren't even high speed internet lines
@@powerlinekidforsman9360 they actually do have fiber running inside of some static cables. The power company rents it out to telecom companys.
Pilot Bernard has to worry about cholesterol FYI, as someone with drop dead real relatives. He has cholesterol nodules between the bridge of his nose nose and corner of his eye.
salute to the perosn who work so hard and risky job
Is that Candlewood Inn and suites? I travel alot and that room looked very familiar.
One false move and it's all over for both of them..... ok pal that line has been energized the whole time and now it just gets interesting...?
Welders have a cartoon we "lineman " have documentaries cause our job
aint a joke. Just kidding hand all good brother. We are Americans and serving our country one day at a time!!
Dangerous job for sure, but I believe it's ranked at number 15 for them most dangerous jobs.
Trying to be a husband and raise a family on the road is incredibly tough. Hats off to these Real Men. My husband is a Master Electrician. He had to travel for a short while to make ends meet, but by the time our third child came, that was enough. There are other ways to make a living and truly money can't buy back time lost. Having him home every night for dinner and to sleep in our bed is a luxury worth more than anything. He's an incredible Man, husband and Dad. It takes all kinds and our Skilled tradesmen help to make this world turn in more ways than most would realize!!! A huge THANK YOU to all the men out there providing and making it happen. You are much needed and appreciated each and every day.❤
They where cutting trees in my hometown with the helicopter and saws
I didn't know Dan Aykroyd was a lineman.
Gettysburg PA
Anyone know any telecommunications lineman jobs in Europe from the USA
Sometimes when they hike the ball they can get plowed over.. so I guess concussions are dangerous
Are they working on the top guard ( ground) wire?
It's almost like merit is paramount
Haverfield Aviation is number one
Wish I had a helicopter to get me to the work
I’m trying to recruit my 13 year old daughter into doing this type of work.
Exaggerated sensationalist narration. SMH.
Rey Rogers ...very true...along the lines of the tv series “Ice Road Truckers”.....
You’re right. The exaggerated drama detracts from whole thing
(Unless you’re an 8 year old).
This is epic, but,
the smart thing to do would be to carry a spare line, so line could be inspected when power off.
Also, sure you could use drones to inspect lines nowadays?
Most of these power companies can't turn the power off it has to be worked on live. I don't know why if it's too much money to cut the power off or what but most lines are always live when they work on them.
Death comes along for the ride.
❤❤❤❤
Glen Campbell would approve.....
i understand that reference.
? Obviously, it isn't. What's the worst result of this danger? Death?
How many helicopter lineman have died?
Neither can they drink
My dad is a lineman
For what team? Patrios? Cowboys? Oh let me guess… packers.
So these guys can hear Norm MacDonald talking from the passenger seat every job. CAMPING!?...are you crazy?!...watch TV, without you, we can't watch an animated Mr. Death with Norm's voice. Sorry, I still talk about him as if he were still with us.
Wait! What happens to “the dog" in the beginning?
The dog took Uber to Petco for doggie treats and was arrested by the Wilkes-Barre police for shoplifting. They put him on dog house arrest.
Is it necessary to go to Flying School to become a helicopter lineman in a foreign country?
It is compulsory to have a flying license/permit. Won't be allowed to fly otherwise.
how about asking the "foreign" country, instead of clueless strangers on the internet?
This is probably the most dangerous job in the world......highly risky.Requires lots of guts and nerves.Were they not doing this,these men would probably be frontline soldiers.....
My normal trade logging is actually the most dangerous job😂😂
That's what was thinking
It's not a competition, they're both dangerous jobs.
@@pnut3844able noooooo it's a competition
Logging might be number 1 but more lineman, construction workers, farmers, truckers, delivery drivers diemore than loggers
@@joshuaknight311 That's not how statistics work
did you know that a high range electric vehicle uses the same amount of electricity every time the charges as the average household uses in a year
Just use a crane for the linemen ?
You'd get electrocuted in a crane because you'd have a direct line to ground. Unless the whole crane was insulated but there are still places you could never get a crane
I can dig the title. But... the job when a natural gas line is broken or damaged, my dumbass jumps in the hole to fix it. One little spark from static or electric charge and it’s a bad day.
My wife says the same thing after I eat her chili
😂
Are you not safe from the electricity that far off the ground? You aren’t earthed. I know birds can happily sit on power lines.
This company not going to mention their name but has a horrible safety record. 2 mths ago they had a accident in NY . Stay safe ,stay proud & stay alive!!
And all this time I thought forklift certification was cool.
The most dangerous jobs in the world are oil rigs , miners …. They are fare more dangerous that this job , so I wouldn’t give it the top spot !!!!
A woman of the streets is much more dangerous than any of these jobs.
Most jobs in construction are dangerous.
An interior decorator isn't dangerous though.
This job looks so damn easy and well paid, that I suspect women will now demand equal opportunites there also
@7:35 SMH!!! Once that thing lifts, you GTFO from underneath... NOT stand with your hands up! You aren't going to catch shit but a face full of SaWBLADE!
He's signalling the pilot like a flagman at an airport you idiot lol
Pizza delivery driver is more dangerous.
😂gtfoh
good joke
it is in my town.
🤏👌
In Chicago.
Their doing a terrible job explaining the double dead end fiber optic job on the lattice structure. Should of hired a journeyman lineman to do the voice over or atleast explain it to the voice over guy.
Love to see some feminists complaining no equality here
I’m trying to recruit my 13 year old daughter into this line of work. Not sure how
They only complain about certain jobs lol!! It’s the men that are out there in all sorts of hell keeping our power going. I’m grateful!
@@eddiew2325 Sounds like something a hebephile would say.
Sorry I can’t watch this with that fkn movie trailer voice lmaoo
Jesus rose from dead
where the women at ? `im sure it pays well...
Women would get paid less than men to do this job.
Most dangerous job in the world is a prison guard... aint nothing dangerous about electricity! (we all use it!!!!, do you use a prison?)
Ur a certified dummy
Prison guard doesnt get you popped by 5000+ volts and turned to charcoal
no that is quite true... i spent 5 1/2 years in maximum security too
Boring, can you please show some one getting, hit with a tree ,or getting shocked!
@@ashfordminer2390 😭😭😭
@@nickcampbell9258 I'm not wrong lol

Do you want it to happen ?
