Love the article and the video. Props to whoever filmed it!
Not to nitpick, but the description of picture #5 is incorrect. The infrared camera is used to identify points of heat due to the resistance caused by the bits of wiring that have been corroded by the water, not from contact with the water itself. It’s essentially a way to locate damaged portions of the wires.
