Power line was fine. We got an engineer out to confirm that there were no problems ( but I think it tripped out a nearby farm for a minute or so......)
Just one of those weird ones. Descended over the line to land down wind but it veered in the last 60 feet or so and carried us back into the line - couldn't deflate in time.
