Falling ice crashes through roof of home
|
best use is to use it in mixed drinks within the next weeks or so.

Just as long as the ice isn't coloured blue. :O
|
I love the comment from the unfortunate housewife "It’s very dangerous those planes going over, but there’s not much we can do.”
|
A rare occurrence to be sure, but not unknown. In fact a piece of ice fell through a Calgary roof a couple of years ago in the same neighborhood..
Oh, when ice does fall from an airliner, it usually originates from the sinks and water dispensers, NOT from the toilet. The public immediately assumes it is toilet waste water.. Also, some airlines no longer use blue water to identify toilet waste water. |
From the news video the ice looked light yellow. And good on WestJet for standing up and saying it came off one of there planes and that they would make arrangement to have the house repaired.

The Japanese had it right years ago! Tokyo RJAA Jepp 20-9L, charts are from 2010, but it was the same thing long before that.

I don't know if the Japanese got it right, I do know that it was a pain in the backside putting the gear down seven or so miles earlier than normal. It was not at all an efficient way to fly the approach, especially since most of it was over farm land.

Sorry offchocks, I should have put the /sarc tag in there somewhere to be more explicit, ! was an insufficient hint. See Poe's law and online sarcasm.

There is no known engineering programme to ameliorate the occurrence of ice falling from airliners. Anyone got George Foreman's Cell??? MY FEE!!! :E |

I've been told that the gear down over the water policy at NRT comes from some wheel well stowaways falling onto property under the approach path back in the 1970's while local 'activists' were rioting to prevent full operation of the airport. I can't recall ever hearing about ice blocks falling when you put the wheels down on an airliner but I suppose it is possible. It is odd that the NRT gear down restriction doesn't apply when landing to the south.
