Am I the only person who thinks that's clearly CGI ?

I think its for real, but whether the cables are on, and whether you can
do more than make a cursory inspection, if they are , is a moot point.

The arc drawn looks clearly DC...sort of what might be left on a 132KV
line if the contactors flipped out.


Just for reference...

Thiose isolators are NEVER opened under load though. They have oil
filled contactors to actually break the circuits. Those are
isolators..thats just redsidual cable capaitance being broken.
