I think there may be a new Darwin award in the future.
 
Didn't I see that in a James Bond movie once?
 
Yep, in The World is not Enough they sliced up a BMW with a buzzsaw.

I hope they pay they helicopter guy really well. He seems to be pretty skillful.
 
I know a lot of helicopter pilots and they are unanimous in declaring that pilot two notches past insane.
 
I don't know which is worse, the guy that trims the trees, or the guy that has to go work on the power lines!

On a side note, I think this may be a 'dead' line because I have seen them do this on a documentary film and the guy had to reach out with a 'hot stick' as the chopper approached the line - this drew a 1-2' arc on its own, then he had to clamp onto the line to bring the chopper and his body up to the same voltage potential. I didn't really see them do that in this video.
