Airplane Gets Snagged In Power Lines

It's unbelievable that this seems to keep happening, but another plane got tangled up in some power lines this time in Germany. It happened today while the small sport plane was on approach to a rural airfield in the Bavarian town of Durach. The 65 year old pilot and his wife sat upside down in the cockpit for two hours after their landing gear snagged the 380,000 volt lines. The two were ultimately rescued by local emergency services with cherry pickers. Captions look like Hebrew or something so I can't quite tell what they're saying, but I'm sure it's along the lines of "lotse dummkopf".
