Very sad, and a reminder of just how nasty these things can be. While it's not unknown to survive such events there are many examples where the result has been deathly for the occupants. Apart from the obvious answers I wonder if there's any additional tech that might be employed to reduce the likelihood of such contact, or make the line more 'visible' in some way? It seems to me an area that could do with some concerted research.
