Look, I have misused the word prescient in the headline. This isn t a story about someone who knew in advance of an event. It s a story about a fortunate coincidence. But I like alliteration, so I took some liberties. Good luck finding a lawyer to litigate a ludicrous lawsuit about it.
NOW ON TO THE STORY:
Laura Palladino visited June Farms in NY state, and took a shine to a pair of pigs: Lucy and Ethel. So when she heard that the farm had put up a live streaming webcam, she logged on right away. Just in time to see that the pig’s barn was ON FIRE! Turns out Ethel had knocked over a heat lamp, igniting some straw.
With so many streaming services, 24-hour news programs, and podcasts available for online entertainment, one farmer is thanking her lucky stars that someone simply wanted to watch an Internet livestream of a pigsty. At the moment that Lucy and Ethelâa pair of pregnant pot-bellied pigsâseemed destined to be turned into a roast by a fire in the barn, Laura Palladino, who had tuned-in to the livestream to see if they had given birth, was able to call 911 and alert the farmers of the impending disaster. Palladino had visited Ethel and Lucy some weeks before at their sty on June Farms in New York state, and took a liking to the animalsâso much so that after the farmer had installed a webcam the day before the incident, she decided she would check up her new friends. According to Palladino, she was (perhaps unsurprisingly) the sole viewer of the livestreamâthe only one in the world who knew it was happening.
