The tail section remained in the wires when the rest of the plane broke off and fell to the ground.
Federal Aviation Administration officials told the Philadelphia Inquirer that the plane only had the pilot aboard when it crashed.
The pilot was taken to Temple University Hospital with burns, officials said, but information on his condition was not available, the Inquirer said.
