The P-400 was actually described as "A P-40 with a Zero on it's tail."

I'm glad the pilot made it out ok.  Hope everyone on the ground is well.

 :rofl

All Adonai ribbing aside (which he deserves), I'm glad all are safe and noone was hurt.   Looks like the pilot did the best he could to minimize collateral damage as it were.

Just saw it on the news.

God Bless to all the victims. :pray

The report said that it missed a high school by less than a mile.
That would have been terrible.
