".... On 3 December 1976, during the second day, a gust of wind broke the pig free of its moorings. Because there was no one to shoot the pig down, it sailed away into the morning sky. A passenger plane reported seeing the pig, causing all the flights at London Heathrow Airport<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Heathrow_Airport>to be delayed [*citation needed <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>*].

It finally landed in a farmer's field, without much damage. ..:" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animals_(album) -- luigi
