Noticed that the top of one of the pylons is severely bent; the aircraft seems to have hit that and then slid along the cables until it toppled off, hooking-on as it did so.

First class bit of rescue work.

That would call for a post event change of underwear I think. Looks like a Europa tri-gear or Liberty XL-2. I’m glad they are both OK and that I wasn’t one of them. Well done to the Feuerwehr for their work.
