A small plane crashed into a live electrical tower Sunday night. The plane didn’t explode. The 2 people in the plane survived, but were left dangling in the air, next to thick, hot, live electrical cables while waiting for crews to help. Did I mention they and the plane were hanging about 100 feet up?

The fact that the place didn’t crash down is amazing. In the pictures, it look like it hit nose first, crunched the nose, and somehow got stuck while doing it. They had to cut the power, secure the plane, and let it down slowly. 140,000 people had to go without power while they did that. The passengers had serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
