“The fate of the pigs remains unclear at this time.”

Well, they were probably headed for slaughter anyway.

Pearls before swine?

The plane was trying to land but the truck was hogging the road.

"A single-passenger bi-plane" .... there's your culprit!
This should be an easy report for the NTSB to close. "A pilot-less airplane carrying a single passenger crashed ...."

Most importantly: is the pilot okay? The news story fails say (not surprising, given it is Fox news). I'd assume the high wing protected him from hitting the ground when inverted.

That appears to be "Unfinished Business", the airplane featured in the June 2018 Sport Aviation. Fantastic one-off build. Sad to see it damaged.

I wonder if the pigs squealed like Ned Beatty....

CNN reports over 110 souls perished.....the pilot managed to save his.....bacon.
