Ice Falls From Aircraft (possibly)
From the media section of the Essex County Fire & Rescue website...
Incident No: 11969
Date: 28-06-2006
Time: 09:20
Details: Mystery object fell through roof
Address: Keswick Avenue Hullbridge
Attendance: 1 x Hadleigh
Firefighters were called after a woman heard an explosion in her roof at around 07.25 this morning. When crews arrived they found a large hole measuring approximately 3 ft in the roof of the house.
When firefighters investigated the loft they found were no obvious signs of what had caused the whole all they could see was a damp area on the insulation below the whole.
A neighbour had found a lump of ice on her lawn at around the same time leaving us to believe that the only thing that could have caused the noise and damage to the house would be a large piece of ice falling from a plane.
