That is the fishiest thing I have ever seen/heard. Maybe the accident investigation will tell more, but wow what a ******* show. I mean kudos for grabbing a garden hose to fight the fire but geez his old house?? Was there an ex living there he doesn't like?? Looks like it was an old man living in his old house, so what the frack??
P.S. That reporter is extremely pretty imo.

Sounds like the guy lived there many years ago and didn't know anyone there. Also they said he arrived inverted, and his boss said he had departed on a legit banner-tow mission.
Coincidence IMO. We're not talking billion-to-one odds...if the guy lived in the same area his whole life, in several houses, odds might be 5,000-to-one.

The NTSB always checks for the possibility that it was intentional, anytime an aircraft goes into a residence or business, Etc. Typically there is a member of the investigation team whose primary purpose is to gather/investigate personal background info.

Almost 25% of traffic accidents occur within 1 mile of a driver's home and more than 50% within 5 miles. It's just where you are most of the time. Banner flying is local flying, he had to come down somewhere.

A little more information regarding the crash:

I'm still not buying it. Slow loss of engine power, a commercial pilot, releases a banner and then he descends, "inverted"
into his own former house?
