Thanks, strangely tiny vehicle. How could it have done a tenth of all that damage? Possibly if it were loaded with dynamite, but then it would have been blown to smithereens, and apparently it wasn't. Also strange that it doesn't even show up in the wide shots and is only visible in closeups:

I think it's fair to conclude that the plane did not do the building damage.

p.s: of course, if it were loaded with fertilizer, that's a whole different story.

:wink:

You know, people with serious financial problems (not that I would know) often fantasize about faking their death. You know, so you can get away from all the debts and the IRS problems and everything else.

This thing doesn't seem like that to me, but ....

What bothered me the most about this whole deal is that this guy with supposedly suicide-incuding financial problems OWNED A PLANE.

If I owned a plane, I'd sell it, and that would pay the rent for quite a while .....

Good point, Nordic. Also, the house was pretty nice.

Bingo. Great point. Some people timeshare a plane. Some lease a plane. Some rent a plane when needed. Own a plane? Hmm. I'm not quite sure. Even if it was a lowly Piper... If I owned a plane, I'm sure I may scoff...

Weird image-hot-linking coinkydink ... was just browsing this old thread and see that the DrudgeReport image I originally hot-linked to was replaced some time ago by the still of Alex-hothead-Jones fuming at Piers Morgan with the headline FIREBALL. LOL
