NEW: Fight between a husband and wife ends with a large chunk of their house missing in Butler County, Pennsylvania.
The damage to the house is so severe that investigators are concerned about the house's structural integrity.
According to local reports, 48-year-old Eric Pierwsza used a Kubota excavator to rip apart the home during a fight with his wife.
"I'd like to know what she said to him because I'll make sure I don't say it. Forty-two years I've been married, but I've never threatened to tear the house down," a neighbor said.
The fight reportedly started after Pierwsza returned home after a night out drinking. His wife told him that their marriage was over.
"If it's over, I'll tear the house down," Pierwsza replied.
He then followed through on his promise and started tearing the house down.
Pierwsza was later arrested.

44-year-old Christopher D. Toukonen of Lely High School was arrested after school administrators were told that he was allegedly using drugs in his classroom.
Toukonen has been booked into jail on felony charges.
"Upon learning of the arrest, Collier County Public Schools (CCPS) immediately removed the employee from the classroom and initiated the termination process," Lely High School principal Jen Bledsoe said.
"The matter is currently under criminal investigation, and the District is cooperating fully with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office."
Man credits Giants kicker Younghoe Koo for saving his life after the kicker botched a field goal attempt against the New England Patriots.
Mark Toothaker of Lexington, Kentucky, says he believes Koo saved his life.
Toothaker says the wiff from Koo made him laugh so hard that he had a seizure.
"I’ve never felt anything like this in my life. I felt like I got electrocuted," he said.
Toothaker was then rushed from his home to the hospital. Following a CT scan, Toothaker says a "tennis-ball-sized tumor" was found on the side of his brain.
The tumor was surgically removed, and Toothaker has no long-term damage, according to the AP.
“[Koo] saved my life because it could’ve happened any other time. I wholeheartedly believe I was in the right spot at the right time, and he was the trigger for that happening. It was a miracle," he told the AP.
"As tough as that thing was, as violent as that seizure was, I have no memory of it and I would find it hard to believe that I wouldn’t have hurt somebody or hurt myself if I would’ve been behind a wheel."
Wild.
The ADL *needs* anti-semitism, CA needs vast quantities of homeless people to justify all the people who get paid to "solve" it, the Fed needs inflation to justify its mandate. These organizations are like fire departments with an arson division.
@Chris_Liss He’s obviously not insane but he clearly just spouts off…like I do about my fantasy players when they get hurt in first quarter (at least have the courtesy 🤣). I just think there’s zero way that calculation involved here. Not gonna blow up Iran citizens on a bridge or plant.
JUST IN: Mt. Everest guides accused of “poisoning” climbers to trigger helicopter rescues as part of an insurance scam.
The guides have allegedly been lacing hikers' food and pressuring them into taking expensive rescue helicopter evacuations.
"Guides with the trekking agencies allegedly poisoned tourists by putting baking soda in their food to trigger severe gastrointestinal distress that mimicked altitude sickness or food poisoning," the New York Post reports.
Operators would allegedly then forge medical documents and flight documents to charge international travel insurers.
According to police, the groups have received $19.69 million in insurance payouts.
Police in Nepal have charged 32 individuals for organized crime and fraud, including trekking company owners, helicopter operators, and hospital executives.
Today Lindsey Graham, who for some reason has been the White House's top spokesman for this war, went on TV and invoked Iwo Jima while calling for more escalation in Iran. Iwo Jima of course involved 26 thousand US casualties. It's extremely troubling that Graham has so much influence with the administration and has been so empowered to speak on its behalf. He is not conservative, he is not America first, he has never done a single thing in his career to advance the interests of actual American citizens, and he clearly wants this war to continue indefinitely and doesn't care how many Americans die in the process. He should have no influence and no say over anything. He's one of the worst people in all of congress and that includes the Democrats.
@Chris_Liss It’s most certainly not looking good for whatever option that leads to an immediate (within 2-3 more weeks) cessation of operations. Just like Red Dawn (Classic movie) when wheat prices, prices of goods exploded, s*** is going to hit the fan when the financial impact REALLY rises
@Chris_Liss There is something going on that is extremely dangerous to US interests and there’s no way they feel that telling the American people is the way to go….hopefully not this
@Chris_Liss I think these are the possibilities. There’s really no sense in attempting to be certain as to what’s going on. I do think one can have an opinion of whether we (USA) should be there or not. Trump is compromised and just an actor, he is basing decisions on others (outside of #1),
