A very short Universal news reel video of the Howard Hughes “tearing rooftops off” plane crash. Video shows the damage to the houses as well as the plane. The depictions in “The Aviator” were no exaggeration. The Howard Hughes plane really tore the rooftops off the houses!

Howard Hughes plane crash

Clothing Tycoon William Bianchi will not make anyones best dressed lists for this crazy wreck. It seems that following a costume party where Bianchi was dressed as a roman gladiator, he had a fiery run in with another car. Police suspect he may have had a bit too much to drink at his costume party. William also failed to stop after the DUI accident.

It did not take police too long to figure this out. There was a burning car just hit by a roman gladiator dressed up as a drunk driver and a drunk driver dressed as a roman gladiator in a hospital whose face and eye brows looked a bit singed. Police did say that he looked more like Wiley Coyote after a failed, as always, bombing run on the roadrunner than Russel Crowe in Gladiator.

The roman breast plate may have helped protect his drunken ass from the flames. Superman, Bianchi’s buddy, was waiting for him in the hospital lobby. After being questioned for suspicion of DWI / DUI he may have admitted to having a couple drinks.

It didn’t take long for police to find clothing tycoon William Bianchi when he fled after crashing his car into a tree while drunk.

For a start he was dressed as a Roman gladiator and was wearing black bodypaint.

The fact that his hair was also badly singed also helped to identify him as a man who had just escaped a burning car.
