The Accident happened near Innisfail early this morning.
It was a jet ranger spraying Bananas and as you said it hit a wire.
The Pilot has broken both legs (ankles actually i think) but nothing life threating. It's going to be a real pain in the arse for him to get to the pub for a while.
The machine was destroye by fire so sound like he is very fortunate really.
If the hospital will fit a XXXX intravenous drip on him quickly he will be fine. SS loves a pint or three.
