If you want to check a circuit is dead (not live), you should always use the three point method. First check a known live circuit, then check the dead...
Traditionally substations have used circuit breakers, current transformers (CT), voltage transformers (VT) and protection relays all wired together using...
GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:
