That one has been posted on AS WTF pics a few times, no less amazing though, if it's real anyways...
 
That's crazy! I never have seen that before , then again I don't have Facebook lol. The ladder is nuts but that primary elect wire is even worse. I am a troubleman for elect co and I went to a tree burning on wires job 1day and there was a large limb cut and laying on the wires with an aluminum ladder leaning in tree . Where the guy cut the limb was all burned where the elect run down the limb to the tree and ladder. I knocked in the door and a non English speaking person couldn't hardly understand when I told him he's lucky to be alive . I bet the fire at his hands scared the sh## out of him.
 
Now I want to hear the whole story.<>

I had to replace a pole, wire, transformer before because one fella thought he would fell a big oak on his property in a subdivision! Ended up on the neighbors house! Not a cheap insurance claim.

I see an opportunity for a good scrounge, after the ambulance is gone!
;lol...especially if they leave the keys in the skid steer!
EDIT: as many times as I've seen this pic, I have never before noticed the loader behind the fence with the bucket lifted up over the garage roof to "protect it"

Here's one I took this summer from inside my car as I discreetly watched this guy try to prove Darwin's theory. I didn't get to stick around for all of it but I came back and they had the lower half of the tree down but it was hung up in some others.
