We were lifting 40ft Containers in East Timor with the Mi26 and had a few Local guy's trained(As best we could) to do the hook up's. One of the boys forgot to ground the hook and it Blew him off the container and straightened his Curls...Very Funny!!!
I was watching a show on documentaries earlier called "X-Machines". Showed the Mi-26 lifting a container in Alberta and moving it to a building site. The commentator said the 26 can build up 4 Million Volts of Static. Insane!
