Narrative:
I had a local newspaper crew of two with me. We were taking pictures of the back water. We were flying over the green river when we hit a small fiber optic line that was unmarked in any fashion. It is not on a current sectional neither. The line forced us down toward the river. The line caught and broke off my nose and left main gear. We went to owb and landed on the one remaining wheel. No one was injured.
