- ad0beaddict, on 10/12/2007, -1/+100What would he possibly be arrested for? He did nothing wrong...
- thatsmyaibo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+79Wow!. I see this everyday on the way home from class. It is located about 2 blocks away from me. If anyone is in the Los Angeles area and wants to see it, the cross streets are Saticoy and Shoup. It's way more impressive in person.
- knightblade2oo4, on 10/12/2007, -3/+71who the ***** called the police about this?
if it was real you'd have noticed a lot more noise than a guy putting ***** in his yard. - codyman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+56I've never seen a law saying that its illegal to have a demolished airplane in your possession
- borninda818, on 10/12/2007, -2/+45it looks pretty damn realistic though. Bravo to the designer.
- thatsmyaibo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+36I don't see why people are making a big deal of it. He did nothing wrong. As stated above i live very close to this house and they go all out every year for Halloween mainly using different themes. 2 years ago it was Nightmare Before Christmas, so I'm guessing this is like a theme to "Lost" instead of a fake terrorist scene. Lighten up people.
- nickerbocker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26What? No flaming pools of jet fuel?
- TheReport, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26he's got large pants ;)
- steal_apps01, on 10/12/2007, -9/+28what crack-whore, southern, incest, scientologist town is that?
- goat2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20sounds like a northern town to me. no self respecting southern town would DISALLOW CARS in the lawn, dumbass..
- mushoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17You just wait until the 31st when kids start showing up for the candy. We'll see who tricks whom?
- RaggTopp, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19I think what initially got people upset is the stigma associated with airplane crashes since 9/11. What I find funny is everyone dances around WHY it upsets them, but they won't actually SAY why it upsets them.
I think that's a stupid reason to get upset over this, but still, I can understand why people would be upset and why some jackoff called the cops.
You know what it looks like to me? Someone put a lot of effort and hard work into making a cool Halloween display. I can respect that. - Tatusmi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16... I wonder how he got these parts home. "ya, boss... I'm just gunna take this wreckage home."
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Yep It's a G-III.
Here is a link with some pictures that don't suck.
http://lang.dailynews.com/socal/gallery2/?folder=news/101806_halloween - jcounterman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14That kind of stuff can be legit...its called zoning regulations. The whole "car on the lawn" thing is pretty common, and can often lead to a ticket. I would doubt that most towns would have an "aircraft wreckage" clause in their zoning regulations, however...
- zodo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Bravo to the mechanic...that's the most impressive Halloween display I've seen in a long time. Does anyone know what the white sign says?
- thatsmyaibo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9It says something along the lines of "Warning! Plane crash under investigation" Not exactly but something similar. I pass it everyday so thats from memory.
- mattyparanoid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10@pseudojd - "What piece of a Gulfstream is that?!?! unless that house is 1/3 scale I can't see how that is a G Anything."
No disrespect intended, but how many Gulfstreams have you been around? That is easily the tail-cone to a IV or V.
At least from my perspective, but I work around them every day. - leobaby, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9what a crappy little picture, it fills up less than 5% of my screen.
- TheReport, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7"surprised he wasn't arrested after this"
Arrested for what? the only crime he is guilty of is a morbid sense of humor. I personally think its hilarious. - tinkertoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Cool. I heard next year in the front yard he's planning to do a mock up of a train derailment of ammonium nitrate tankers plowing into an orphanage.
- aywwts4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Yeah, any middle to high class northern cookie-cutter subdivision would have zoning laws like that, you agree to them before you move in, Its all to keep the property values up, How sad is it that they actually had to create a zoning area where you cant build two of the identical blueprint house right next to each other, and another part of the subdivision where you could. (Apparently there is actually a demand for it?!) Other areas where all homes have to be ranch, or 1.5 story homes, another area banned duplexes.
Oh well. its better than in my 100 year old subdivision where the zoning law explicitly states its forbidden "to sell or lease your home to members of the negro race"
How depressing. - TheReport, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6"who the ***** called the police about this?
if it was real you'd have noticed a lot more noise than a guy putting ***** in his yard."
Also the guy who called the cops must of also freaked out that the owner of the house put halloween themes all over the "crash scene" thinking that after the crash he would add insult to injury by decorating a disaster of this magnitude with Jack-O-Lanterns on the nose of the plane, WHAT AN *****!!! /sarcasm - salweem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6We had the same stuff on our town... but it never held in the courts.. Unconstitutional as they said....
- sensibledriver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Dugg simply for the fact that New Yorkers think they are better than everyone else and are the only ones victimized by the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks and, as a seperate country, are the only ones that have plane crashes in general. Oh, and it's a pretty cool Halloween display effort.
- daofma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Couches are forbidden for health reasons. In MA, where I'm from, there's a ban on any sort of padded furniture outdoors because of problems with things like bed bugs.
Cars on lawns are highly frowned upon because it lowers the property value of all other nearby houses. Your neighbors aren't going to like it when you leave wreckage on your yard.
In the case of a halloween display, however, I expect it would be exempt, because despite being wreckage, it's not detracting from property value, as it has been carefully placed. I'd think if anything, an elaborate halloween display like that would be good for property value, if it were somehow to be measured on halloween. - LanceUppercut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4He probably got these parts cheaply. Air parts are eventually decomissioned and sold as scrap aluminum. I remember them using a fin on monster garage from a helicopter that one of the crew purchased extremely cheap. While its intended use warranted a high price tag it had too many hours of operation on it so it had to be destroyed and sold as scrap.
Brilliant idea though. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's a G-III.
- easy4lif, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3maybe the first clue the person would have had about a plane crash in his or her's neighborhood would have been THE EXPLOSIVE IMPACT of the crash itself.
- Pests, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It was like that where I used to live too. A friend of mine got a warning to move a car off the grass within a week or get a ticket. Instead he removed all the grass and layed cement.
- dmcipod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3pics from my personal collection, including owner of the house
http://homepage.mac.com/dmc19/halloween.html - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Well Duhhh, he is obviously a terrorist, having airplane parts needs to be illegal!
/ major sarcasm - sapo916, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The Universal Language of Money works too.
- steal_apps01, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3i wonder too. It's pretty cool though.
- sonicularulus, on 10/12/2007, -6/+7i saw this in person and it was like..wow
lol - Sixcolors, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Yeah, any middle to high class northern cookie-cutter subdivision would have zoning laws like that"
The same goes for the middle class southern cookie-cutter subdivision that my parents live in down in Texas. - nothing7899, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1oh, grow up. I suppose someone dressed in pirate costume with a fake hook is being insensitive to amputees as well. Political correctness takes all the fun out of the holidays.
- tenesmus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You can see some faux body parts in that set (picture #6).
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1No Digg. It is insensitive to airline disasters.......especially september 11. (I saw the planes fly into the Twin Towers in New York.......to parody plane crashes is a slap in the face to us New Yorkers)
- sonicularulus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0yeah...thats more along the lines..
i passed by once..and i just know that the basic meaning was something like do not enter..lol - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1cops are dumb plain and simple.
- sonicularulus, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2that sign is simply a "do not enter" sign...
- tatltat, on 10/12/2007, -15/+7AWESOME!!!
- pseudojd, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1What piece of a Gulfstream is that?!?! unless that house is 1/3 scale I can't see how that is a G Anything.
- Derrekito, on 10/12/2007, -15/+5HAHAh that is awsome!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -31/+17"What would he possibly be arrested for? He did nothing wrong..."
True...but law enforcement is getting WAY overzealous as of late. I'm truly surprised that the guy didn't end up with an "inciting a something-or-other" charge. - jcapogna, on 10/12/2007, -26/+3I'm pretty sure that would be illegal where I live. In my town, we aren't allowed to have cars on our lawn, working or non-working. I've heard of people getting tickets for having couches on their lawn. I would imagine plane wreckage would be illegal here too.
- eazman, on 10/12/2007, -27/+1bury.
- CanceledCzech, on 10/12/2007, -46/+3Even if the guy is probably a dick for doing it, it still is pretty awesome looking.
- thesparrowband, on 10/12/2007, -106/+4yeah! wasting our law enforcement's time
