Of course it makes. If he hit the power lines while trying to start the engine or as a result of the engine not starting than it made all the difference in the world. I am not saying this was the case, just that it could be the case. Additional workload at a critical time is a receipt for tunnel vision.

From looking at the flight log carefully, and seeing it depicted in 3D,it is clear he was trying to be as low as he could over the last obstacles before a difficult field and missed seeing the wires. I do not think the turbo had any affect, other than not starting as he had hoped shortly before.

Looking at Google earth it seems that there were good/better fields down in the valley. Perhaps left decisions to the last moment?

When will the flight trace be shared? Or is it available?

I know that some have already seen it.
