Yes, if you check out post #18 over about four pages on the subject of "whether powerline awareness should be part of the training sylabus", you will see it all.
Before you look, as far as I know the driver (a kiwi) is quite OK, with two ankles in plaster and some other superficial stuff.
cheers tet
