Second, I've read some twitter posts from people who looked into this and they're saying the camera wires are nowhere near the trajectory of the football—that they are in fact behind the kicker. The camera angle only made it look like it was between Reichard and the goal posts.
those cables run the entire length of the stadium, if the camera was lowered down to get a low angle shot from behind Will then its certainly possible that they would have been in a position to get hit by the ball. I've seen those things all the way down on the playing surface when they are working on the camera so they have the ability to get that low. I typically would agree that its not likely, except seeing that batted pass later that day hit the camera that was set up behind the play, and it wasnt a super long kick so its not like Will had to try and keep a low trajectory. the images and video I have seen sure looks like it hit the wire.
