Go to the article and look at the photo of his car. A big mess! I suspect is was a "Boeing Bomb".

The sky is falling!!!!
Good news though is that he will probably be able to afford a few mustangs if they can trace with airline it was.

Worst hail damage claim in history of auto insurance. On the bright side, the deductible for the comprehensive (which would cover hail damage) is often lower than the deductible for collision.

I am surprised we do not see more of this. So many aircraft, and so much cold weather. Bound to happen once in a while.

"That was his dream car," he said. Maybe too much so. That's why the Man upstairs sent him a message.

"This came off an airplane."
Seems pretty clear.

Something is funky with this. I'm not buying it.

An 18-inch chunk of ice fell onto this Ford Mustang on Sunday morning. The force shattered the back windshield and bounced the car 3 feet into the air, a witness said. Serious exchange of inertia... OUCH!

You know you will soon be flamed by glacier thawing ridicule from the resident sophisticates, don't you?

I suggest that we hold the Trebuchet competition in Miami next year.

Depending on how high the aircraft might have been, how fast it was flying and its direction of travel the ice could have come off the airplane a long way from where it struck the car. It would take a while for a piece of ice to fall 30 or 40 thousand feet and it would travel quite a distance if it started out at say 200 mph.

Looks like a chunck of rime ice to me.
I've had chunks falling off the plane after landing at Burbank and was tying down after coming over Gorman in a storm.

A small bit of global cooling, maybe?
