[quote]Two people were rescued early Monday morning from a plane that was left dangling 100 feet in the air from power lines after it crashed in Montgomery County, Maryland, on Sunday night.

Rescue workers pulled the pilot and passenger of the small plane out of the wreckage after they were trapped for several hours after the crash.

Crews had to deenergize the electric tower and ground it  to ensure no remaining energy was running through the structure. Officials said the plane then had to be secured to the tower, so it wouldn't fall during the rescue.

Pepco reported about 85,000 customers were without power because of the plane crash.

As of early Monday morning, all but 911 Pepco customers had their power restored.

Montgomery County Public Schools tweeted that schools would be closed Monday due to the power outage.
