Kinda hard to figure. The door on the Aerostar is by the pilot's seat.
The left prop is less than an arms length from the side of the fuselage.
Exiting over the pilot and through the prop arc is quite a feat!

Maybe the acft hit the power line because the passenger was crawling over the
pilot during the rollout? Maybe somebody =really= needed to land!

An obvious mistake in the transcription, THIS Aerostar happens to
be a hot air ballon.
