HV wiring on sides of buildings that you could reach leaning outta the window.

Yepsome seriously scary things !

I remember one incident when a signage cotractor got lit at 24KV [Linked Image]. He is DOS (Dead On Scene)I guess, and my university went dark for ~30 minutes.(MEA had to clear the line then reset a CB in a substation.) they should have consult MEA before doing something near HV.
