From a PAWKI standpoint, it's probably cable tensile strength.
Naw, using unobtainium cable takes care of that. The real PAWKI issue
is conservation of energy.
But if that held, I'd suspect this event is going to feel a lot like
catching a Three Wire - at FL 450.
At least you have some room to recover from the spin....
The debris field, however, will be quite immense.
