impulse,

That is a real picture. It happened around Seattle about 5-6 years ago. Obviously, the pilot was flying very slow, on approach. Quite a testamony to the strength of the power line, not to mention the airframe. As I remember the pilot was unhurt, but it took a long time to get him down.

I've heard of people sticking a quarter in the breaker box to make a connection but isn't this a little extreme?

and another...

"The plane encountered turbulence from a jet that had just taken off and lost control on final approach. Ended up suspended with landing gear caught in power lines adjacent to Boeing Field in Seattle, Wa. The pilot was rescued and the plane was lowered to the ground without damage."

I think the pilot staggered into the FBO, crawled up the counter and said, "I'll need an mechanic and a clean pair of shorts".
