I remember some pictures of a carbon fibre pure glider that caught fire
when it hit some high tension wires during an outlanding. The pilot had
time to walk away (and was luckily able to do so), but couldn't
extinguish the fire. Most of the fuselage and part of the wing burned
up. The fire was caused by high tension electric sparks when the tail
went trough the wire.
