click Tony's link and if you look at the picture of the fireman hosing down a car that was destroyed to the top left.... you'll see that it sure looks like a Pinto.

and if you click the link about half way into the news article  (Watch emergency workers examine wreckage  ) you can watch a video of them examining the wreckage for a better view of the "Pinto"

"update" I added the picture...

I sure hope that was no one I knew. Most of the So.Cal early Pintos are accounted for.

Brad, only the 2 people in the plane were killed and no mention of anyone else injured. Except... the poor little pinto  :(

OK Tony, you win. When I first read your post, I read the article and it said nothing of a Pinto. The pic was so grainy and small I saw no resemblance of a Pinto, wasn't even looking for one since the story didn't say anything about it.

You'll still share, won't you?

Dave

     Hey Guys

        I suppose now some stupid bastard is going to claim that the Pinto was the cause of the fire

     & resulting damage. I would expect no less from some of the sensationalists that lurk in our society.

      I hope that no one else suffered any injuries, & that the owner has insurance.

                                                      Take care     Dick
