HOLY MOLY 👇

I don't know that I'd ever be able to fly again after that.

Oh, you're afraid of heights? Well, why don't we just trap you in a tiny plane upside down and dangle you from power lines with enough electricity to send a DeLorean back to 3,000 BC.

Fortunately, both people in the plane were rescued safely using a cherry picker.

From CNN:

A pilot and passenger who were stuck in a small plane for nearly seven hours after it crashed Sunday into power lines in Montgomery County, Maryland, have been rescued, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service Chief Scott Goldstein said early Monday morning.

Both were taken to the hospital with serious injuries, including orthopedic and trauma injuries from the crash and hypothermia, Goldstein said.

Initial reports suggest the dense fog in the area might have caused the crash.

Rescue crews had to wait for the tower to be grounded before they could attempt a rescue – you know, because it's natural to dislike being cooked alive by lightning.

About 120,000 customers were without power Sunday evening following the crash, but all impacted customers had their power restored as of early Monday, according to the Pepco utility company, which provides electric service to roughly 894,000 customers in Washington, DC, and surrounding areas in Maryland. Montgomery County is just north of Washington, DC.

It's good to know our nation's capital is so secure that its energy grid can be crippled by a single-engine prop plane!

But at least the local kids are happy:
