The power line was hit before the impact point.
just checking but the photo on a previous page (15) seems to show a snapped telegraph pole near the tail cone (with wires attached) and aircraft debris either side of the snapped pole. Seems to indicate something happened before hitting this post.
Havana, you are correct. If you look at my pictures just posted ny HundredPercentPlease, the aircraft started to drag poles out of the ground before impact. The power line went to the house close to the mosque, therefore all the other poles after the impact point were entangled in the crash, hence the picture in page 15.
I could not enter the debris area, so my last standing was in front of the impact point... with some nice local guys all wearing the same dress around me asking polite questions...
