Is this true?
My husband has kept our 410lb-er in the back of our pick up since our weigh
off 9/20. It never fails to draw a crowd no matter where it's parked. Today
one on-looker shared an AG story from when he lived in California. Sounded
like an Oakland area radio station bought an 800+lb AG for a promotional stunt
that involved lifting the AG with a helicopter up to 2000 feet and released
it. Sadly the plan didn't account for any lateral drift as the plummeting
pumpkin met with cross winds. Even sadder was when it came to rest on the
ground it was on top of a car.
True? I dunno.
It sounded like this may have happened several years ago.
Can anyone confirm? It's a great story just the same.
