Look at this one!!! It is during a night parade (maybe marti gras) when something (maybe the top of a float, or a foil helium balloon) comes in contact between two phases of a 19.9 or more kV powerline. There is a loud, bright arc and everyone is shouting and screaming. One guy is yelling over and over for his girlfriend, when suddenly there is another loud, bright arc-flash between phases. The cameraman swings is camera up to the lines and catches one of the very best videos of a jacob's ladder-style arc ever! It is rapidly traveling ALL THE WAY UP THE CITY BLOCK (!!!) between two phases of the line, and is about ten feet long. This is one of the very best arc footage videos I ever saw!!
