Flight İnternational:

InterSky, however, describes the weather during the approach as "normal". It has not indicated the type of approach being conducted when the incident occurred.
But managing director Claus Bernatzik says: "The aircraft seems to have been located, on approach, a few metres off the intended flight path.

İf it is true they hit a 9m high powerline 1000 m from the runway,surely they where more than a few meters from the intended flight path.

either this guy bernantzik does not know what he is talking about or he is trying to cover the whole thing up with soft talk, or both.

if the wx was good according to the company it does not make sense why a pilot with "decades of experience" will make 60 degr bank turns and hit a powerline 1000 m before the runway. sounds more to me as a pilot trying to find the runway in fog conditions..........

luckily nobody hurt
