worked for Pac Bell long time ago, one of the trucks raised the boom into high voltage line, voltage went thru the rubber tires and melted them, foreman claimed the steel wires inside the tires carried the voltage thru the rubber to ground alongside San Mateo Bridge, they used helicopters to spray down the dust that settled on the high lines, saw a company movie of helicopter carrying a lineman up to work on those live wires copter extended a pole and drew an arc to bring copter to line voltage, one impressive arc, then worker was lowered to stand on the energized line itself, guy said he could feel the voltage sensation but no ill effects, they had to stay away from the towers while doing this, think voltage was over 600k
