Floatplane Crashes Into Power Line Near Kennewick

Witnesses say the pilot tried to fly under the line, but a wing strike caused the crash. Emergency crews pulled the plane to shore but couldn’t open the doors in time. The incident left nearly 20% of the local power grid out, with crews working into the night to restore service and clear debris blocking the marina. Authorities are investigating and urge boaters to stay away as recovery continues. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
