Somehow nobody got hurt from this loony tunes scenario.

From the looks of the flight path and the METAR data, there was low visibility at the time and they'd veered off to the left of the approach, and likely didn't see the pylon in time to avoid it.

The, erm, unplanned interface with transmission equipment happened at about 17:28:00 EST, with the deviation happening about 20 seconds before then.

Yeah, crosswind’s a bigger problem on approach cause you’re intentionally cutting your momentum as much as possible and the wind’s stronger closer to the ground
