Incredible rescue of husband and wife after their plane crashes into zip wire leaving them dangling 100 metres above rocks

A couple had a miracle escape after their plane became tangled in a zip wire, leaving them dangling 100 metres above rocks.



The husband and wife were left stricken above the rocky wilderness lying on their backs facing straight up to the sky and too terrified to move after the slamming into the steel cable.



The pilot of the plane and his spotter were on their first ever flight carrying out an anti-rhino poaching patrol for a game reserve in South Africa when they crashed.



Amazing footage shows the plane suspended as rescuers race to the scene.



Incredibly the theme park hawser used to propel people at 100mph down a thrill seeking ride, at the Sun City Resort near Johannesburg, lodged on a single large bolt underneath the propeller.



Peter, the pilot, and his wife Mary, both in their 60s, were left swinging in the wind for hours in the high wing Bat Hawk aircraft.
