Get within 5 feet of a High Tension Wire and it will Arc Out to you.

On a 345kv line, keep going. According to NASH and the NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) the "Limited Approach Boundary" is 15 feet, 4 inches (unqualified personnel). Even for QUALIFIED personnel the restricted approach boundary is 8 1/2 feet.

27 feet from this guy's house? What, he couldn't find ANY land ANYWHERE else? Sorry, but dude is a MO-RON.

That's why they're a hundred feet above ground.
