So, for a Halloween tableau this guy made his yard look for all the world like a plane crash site. I guess all the suicide bomber backdrops were already rented out. We’re told the police visited his home, thinking the crash was real. All I know for sure is, a real 747 in flames could nose-dive straight into his house next week, and nobody would pay any attention, no matter what.
Yep. There’s even a pic here. The real question is, however, “were the police just not paying attention?”
I mean, come on: if a plane crashed somewhere in your town, don’t you think somebody would have called 911? Every street has a 911-calling busy-body and you just know h/she would have been all over that.
