THE PILOT STATED THAT HE KNEW THAT HE WOULD HAVE STRONG CROSS-WINDS FOR LANDING BUT WHEN HE WAS READY TO LAND, HE WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT FOR THEM. HE STARTED A GO-AROUND, HIT GUSTY WINDS THAT ROLLED HIM TO THE RIGHT AND WHEN THE AIRPLANE WOULD'NT CLIMB, THEY HIT A POWER-LINE WITH THE RIGHT TIP OR WHEELS.
