In Quang Tien Commune, Hoa Binh City, local authorities had to shut off electricity across the entire area to rescue a skydiver who became entangled in a 35kV power line on the afternoon of October 20.
At around 1:00 PM, during a landing attempt, the skydiver got caught in the power lines and was left suspended mid-air, about 30 meters from the Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh Expressway. The individual was identified as Nguyen Hoang H., a 35-year-old resident of Hoa Binh City’s Thong Nhat Ward.
Emergency teams were immediately dispatched to the scene, bringing in rescue personnel and equipment to safely retrieve the stranded athlete. For safety reasons, the power supply to Quang Tien Commune was temporarily cut off during the operation.
After nearly two hours, the skydiver was successfully rescued, and power was restored to the area shortly afterward.
