Thinking further on this, just for giggles worth.
OK Tuner was an old Johnson Kw matchbox,
So technically there was no direct path to ground of the wire.
And, say a mile of like 18 Ga alum wire,, any losses?
After the initial giant fuse blowing effect, then the wire is not
connected to any power anymore after the vaporization.
Just thinking out of the box here.

I cut her loose, and the wire ran away FAST! then about ten seconds
later BOOM! big fireball and BOOM soundwave! and power was out for the
whole area.
Bahahaha! Wow, how easy would it have been to also touch a long
metallic fence, or bridge LT to HT.. I've done a few dumb things, but
that one is the real nut in the fruit cake. ;)
I can't imagine what could have happened if I had NOT cut her free.
Sure you can. You would have got electroluxed!
