Fine point #1 that the story missed: the arcing tower was not actually connected to anything... it was simply located *next* to a tower that had 50KW pumped into it.

Fine point #2: notice that the tower-guy starts to reach down to disconnect the bottom (grounded) clip first, then thinks better of it. Good thing; that would not have been pretty.

Fine point #3: This was at the tower of 89 WLS. John Records Landecker and company were cool wa-a-ay back in the day.

That is all.
