Ice Falls From Sky, Crashes Into House

Authorities are looking into the source of a large ball of ice that fell from the sky recently, leaving a gaping hole in the roof of a Moxee, Washington, home.

"My teenage daughter and teenage son were home, eating dinner, and they heard a loud bang and walked upstairs to find this mess," Dwaine Morrison told the Yakima Herald. "It's unbelievable."

The chunk of ice, said to measure about 1 foot by 1 foot, crashed through the family's roof Tuesday evening, breaking through drywall and pink insulation, and landed in a walk-in closet. No one in the house was hurt.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it was investigating whether a plane had dropped the ice.

For now, the hole in the Morrisons' roof was covered with tarp as the family awaited news from the FAA and their insurance company. Morrison said the family was storing the ice in a freezer in their garage.

Meanwhile, the residents of a home in St. Laurent, Quebec, were reeling after the wheel of a jet fell from the sky and landed on their roof in the early morning hours Wednesday.

The homeowner, who did not want to be identified, told CTV Montreal the renter of the third-floor apartment was not home at the time.

"She can see through the kitchen right to the sky," the building's owner said. "She came down at 5 a.m., rang our doorbell panicking. ... It's ridiculous. It's a plane tire. ... How can a tire just fall off a plane?"

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada reportedly said the tire belonged to a Falcon 10 corporate jet aircraft, which landed safely nearby at Pierre Elliot Trudeau Airport shortly after the incident.
