RupertPupkin 1 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I know everyone is saying wire strike, and judging from the amount of cables around that is very possible. Could ground resonance be a possibility? Watch his left skid tube just before it gets exciting. It looks like he puts it on a pole..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
407 too 2 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I know everyone is saying wire strike, and judging from the amount of cables around that is very possible.

This is beaten to death on pprune, alternate position video shows pilot descending with longline cable still attached, lowers himself to an altitude which a ground handler can reach the line, gives it a yank, and the line, still attached to the top of the pole, comes in contact with the MR, rest is history 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
