I'd hate to have to be the crew that gets this thing down. What a pain in the ass with the potential to be lethal.

Shut that section down and ground the wires. Not really that dangerous. It's only dangerous if you don't follow protocol.
It's still heavy, awkward, easily moved by the wind, and very high up. It has a lot of tension on all the springs, so taking it apart would probably cause things to collapse unexpectedly.
There's still a lot of stuff up there to work around that would be expensive to replace if damaged, so you still need to be a little careful.
Just a mess no matter how you look at it.

The one at 0:53 looks like it went at least as high as OP's.
Sucks to live in that grid. They'll probably need the crane for that one. I mean, it is possible to cut it, but you'd have to have balls of steel to be anywhere close as that thing comes down. I'm not even worried about the power. That is like felling a bad tree ×10
