. (Rumor) he hit a powerline..... I went on Google earth and did find a single wire crosses the river in that area and the poles are hard to see among the trees. |

. Confirmed it was power lines he hit .... actually a single wire strung across the river and the poles were hidden in trees on the riverbank .... kind of a farm to farm hydro line ..... hard to see from the ground and nearly impossible to see from the air.
