These are a few shots from Xiangyang, China where an electric power maintenance company is using a flamethrowing octocopter to burn plastic bags and other debris that have gotten caught on power lines too dangerous/out of reach for a person to retrieve. Now that’s just some solid problem solving if I’ve ever heard of it. Plus, you know, who doesn’t want to operate a flamethrowing octocopter as part of their job? I know I do. I can see it now: *busts through front door* “Welcome home, honey, how was your day?” Oh, you know, I just got TO BURN SOME TRASH OFF POWERLINES WITH A FLAMETHROWING OCTOCOPTER. “That’s nice dear, but why are you out of breath? And what are you doing with that suitcase?” I also set the office on fire pack your bags baby we’ve gotta go!

Keep going for two more shots.
