An Alpen Helicopters Bell 206L1 struck a hydro wire while operating in support of a hydro repair operation 35 NM SE of Prince Rupert. The pilot was working with B.C. Hydro in the Prince Rupert Area. The pilot was asked to reposition the Alpen Helicopters Bell 206L to the other side of the power lines to keep B.C. Hydro from having to bring a boat from 1 ½ mile away to the work zone. This was not the normal or routine side of the power lines from which the pilot was working. Thus on take off, the pilot flew up into the lines, and severely damaged the aircraft. There were no injuries.
