Lets call this Power landing

Very lucky individuals. This is what we call "Power Landing" with a happy end.
According to a German media source, the 65 year old pilot have decided to quit flying. Well, I'm not sure, if that is a good decision. But then, for sure, they were very lucky. The plane stroke a 300000 volt power line. You could imagine, what could have happen, had it been they took a hit.
Anyway, we have a happy end here. However though, the pilot will have to pay a huge bill for this rescue and power cut.

I wish them all the best.
