A Boeing 737-800 aircraft experienced a loss of control during routine flight near Denver International Airport. The aircraft was flying at 65 knots, maintaining a standard altitude of 3000 feet, when it unexpectedly veered off course and entered a restricted airspace. The pilot initiated a go-around maneuver, but the aircraft subsequently lost altitude and drifted southward. The aircraft impacted a power line, resulting in damage to the power line and a minor electrical shock to the pilot.A Boeing 737-800 aircraft experienced a loss of control during routine flight near Denver International Airport.
