maybe some body's "balls" saved his life :wink: seriously though, the pilot was cool as a cucumber, & cool heads prevail in any potential emergency. glad they came out ok.

After viewing the video a few more times, I don't think there are any power lines that cross the road near the section where he landed. There is a pole seen on the right side of the road shortly before touchdown, but I think it's only carrying wires that run parallel to the road, not crossing the road.

Still, he was incredibly lucky the road was as quiet as it was.
