During Typhoon Ketsana in the Philippines last week, residents had to figure out creative ways to stay dry and get around. There are about a dozen reasons this seems like a bad idea, however

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

I have a feeling the grid is down.. But still.

Yeah I'm sure the electricity is still running

Anyway I feel bad for the people walking through it below them. I can't imagine the infections and diseases they'll get from that.

If you have to, hang from one wire. No ground = no problem.

if you've ever been there, you'd know that the power is out 50% of the time

so, if the traffic lights work and your traversing a powerline, you're pretty much fucked at a red light . . .

Good thing they are in front of a healthcare clinic.

Aren't the powerlines like in the upper right corner?
Nobody's walking on those.

Probably just tv/telephone lines they're walking on...but I dunno

Yeah, they don't look like power lines. More like communications. It's a well known fact that cable management is virtually non existent in some countries.

Also even if it was power lines, they would probably be fried long before a picture like that would be taken. Also you need to touch more than one wire to be electrocuted, or something like that. Also the power was probably out, due to the floods, so there's that factor. Also the power would probably be out even if there wasn't a flood.

Basically, everything that needs to be said, has already been said...
