Dude's lucky to be alive. Once that tree contacts a high voltage conductor just leave it, it's already screwed. No sense in trying to knock it off of there and risk having that current go through you.
Dude is so getting fired. He's lucky he didn't get electrocuted. But imagine how many people filed complaints after they found out he caused a power outage. Does the sawing company have to pay for any damages to power companies when their employees do stuff like this?

I can't believe you nearly got shocked and went back for more
Guys lucky.. the energized limb came into contact with his metal bucket could have easily been fatal.
Looks like he was hired at The Home Depot parking lot
I couldn’t understand how a tree-cutter would be so stupid- until I realized it was a Home Depot rental. Can’t believe his didn’t fry.
this guy should have quit before he even rented the truck from home depot. I hope the power company charged him for the repairs.
"Damnit, Cletus, that's why we told you to cut it the other direction."
Ummm if you call the power company the day before they will come out and cover the lines with insulated sleeves for free… that’s a better option
"Mommy, I smell something burning" ... 'it's just daddy making dinner'
That's a Darwin Award in the making.
What fool cuts a tree like that around power lines?
he cut it in such a way that the whole thing fell onto the power line
Forrest Gump's mama had a perfect term to describe shit like this
reminds me of days when i used to think as long as the wire is covered the current cant shock you.
Its even easier sawing the tree on the wires and will go up in ashes haha lol
What wire contains voltage and electricity? Upper one or down one?
Why did he tie the tree top to his bucket?!? This has to be a DIY job, not hired, not experienced, just dumb and a little bit lucky.
Wasn't it better to cut some other branches before start cutting the trunk?... Oh god...
Did he think it was going to fall between the power lines
