Yeah, WAY OLD, but still for those who didn't know...
Yep, the guy drove up the guy wire for the pole. When it got hung up, the dude jumped out and caught a bus. Engine ran until all the oil ran out.
And you would be suprised how much those cables can support... I mean, he got caught up on the comm cables.
I always hear this story about some lineman installing new conductors (more than likely ACSR) when they ended up getting a ton of resistance all of a sudden. They kept going till it was finished and went to sag the conductors. Ended up being a moose with his antlers caught in em. They hoisted him way off the ground (at least 15ft).
So yeah... a probly 1/0-4/0 conductor holding up a moose that almost weighs as much as our cars... then yeah, I could see a bunch of comm cables holding a car up!
