BRUSH, Colorado: A basketball-sized chunk of ice crashed through the roof of a family's home after apparently falling from an aeroplane.
Danelle Hagan and her nine-year-old daughter were at home in Brush, north-east of Denver, on Saturday when they heard the kitchen ceiling come crashing down.
"My kitchen was a shambles," Hagan said.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Mike Fergus said yesterday the ice chunk appeared to have been "Rime ice", which can build up on the outside of a plane's fuselage when it flies through cold and wet air. He said the ice was not "blue ice", which comes from an aeroplane's toilet.
The family was not injured and put some of the ice in their freezer. - Sapa-AP
