Factual narrative

THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE TOP WIRE OF AN ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION LINE AND CRASHED. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE MISJUDGED THE "WIRE DISTANCE" AS HE LET DOWN OVER A POND TO BEGIN A SWATH RUN. THE POND WAS AT THE EDGE OF THE FIELD THAT HE WAS SEEDING. THE PILOT ALSO SAID THAT THE TOP WING OF THE AIRCRAFT MAY HAVE BLOCKED HIS VIEW OF THE WIRES.
