When I scroll back and forth at the moment of contact, I see the wing connecting with the antenna itself - a VERY short distance from the top of the mast.

A few inches separated joy and despair. A shorter mast, more altitude, or a steeper bank and this fly-past would not have been a story.

I wonder whether that was a permanent mast or a temporary event broadcast fixture.
