That may well be, but I don't think being drunk helped his cause.

German speakers would say "under current" dunno what's the English term? "under tension" maybe?

A 'pro' should be somebody who knows what they're doing wherever they are and will be able to work with live cabling.

Another friend of mine works as a hospital electrician and because of the importance of maintaining the supply usually works 'live'....still alive after more than 30 years on the job.

Does your friend wear more than 25 Buddhas around his neck?

That's the way forward, the problem being the physical size and mass and getting them into the appropriate position to be effective. 

Multi smaller units could be a better proposition. 

Let the professionals take over!  Everyone else out.  It’s not a circus.  It seems there wants to be heroes 

its those pesky vendors tapping in.

Helicopters still have to be built that are able to lift this sort of equipment. Khun P. might be able to move it with his mouth.

It's already more than a circus with fortune-tellers, Chinese, Thai, American, British, Swedish and other nationals who do seem to have a communicative problem. You're right, send the wannabees and charlatans away.

There are helicopters already built that can lift far more than the size of these pumps, unfortunately they can't fit inside caves.

Strange, my Thai wife reported that the group of boys and their coach had been successfully recovered and that this was in the news. Children and parents united? Any possibility of getting complete and accurate information regarding the search efforts?

Hello

 

I wonder if some confusion has occured due to there being a " simulated recovery " made with ambulances etc. doing a practise  run,

 taking  people to nearby hospitals. ?

 

That posted here on TV in another thread.

 

Just a thought.

In the undeveloped country where I presently reside, the power is cut for the entire neighbourhood, sometimes all day, in order for any construction work, repairs, new meter installation, or whatever to be done.  I think they need no encouragement to think that such is the norm for a "professional" electrician.  In the developed country back home, the utility workers never cut power unless there is a public hazard by not doing so, such as in the case of downed power lines.  They do all of their work on the lines while they are "hot."  Professionals know how to do this safely. 

 

On a similar vein, I once witnessed professional gas workers in a developed country who replaced a damaged section of the natural gas pipe that supplied the entire town, all without shutting off the gas--including cutting, drilling, and welding on the pipe.  The latter part amazed me, but their explanation was solid.  It was safe to do so given that the gas itself keeps flowing through the steel pipe while they work, preventing it from overheating the gas, and also there is no oxygen inside the pipe (as long as they did not create a contact point for such in the process), so it cannot combust.  I felt safe enough with their expertise to remain within metres of their work site and observe them; nor did they disappoint me.  The whole thing was done very professionally, and they took their time with following procedures correctly.  To replace about 10 metres of pipe took them nearly all day, as they first created a bypass for the gas which was later removed again after the mainline had been replaced.

 

Professionalism requires more than experience, training, and knowledge.  It involves a high degree of planning, organization, and consideration for the task at hand.  Essentially, it involves one's personal culture and work ethic.
