Hummed & ha'd over the best forum for this.
A Cessna single has clipped a power line along the road while trying to force land at a golf course up the road from us, here in Orlando. One occupant critically injured with head injuries, the other was injured but able to extract himself from the a/c & get clear. Can't tell if it's a C152 or C172 although the news reports it as a C172. The news has just said that the pilot reported a loss of oil pressure, was going to try for Orlando Executive but decided the golf course's 18th green was the best option. Looking at the site from the news broadcast he only ***just*** missed out on making it. Another couple of feet & he'd have cleared the power line along the road that borders the course.
Speculating here, but I wonder if he was so focused on the aim point & not overshooting he missed seeing the power lines, or over compensated for an overshoot? Which brings to mind the maxim that it's better to roll through the fence at the far end, than fly through the one at the near end...
Hope they're OK
