Surely there’s an easy to find switch to cut the power and make it safe.
Not AM. They’ve got an insulator at the base, the entire tower is live.

There was another video where a guy clamped a wrench to ground with a jumper cable and held it (wearing insulated gloves) within arcing distance of the tower. The power transfer of the arc was enough that you could audibly hear one of the transmission frequencies just in the arc along. Those AM towers are no joke.
