A RETIRED couple in Wiltshire, Britain, have claimed that a frozen chunk of poo and urine fell from a jumbo jet and ripped a hole in their roof.
They say the human excrement — which was seven inches (17.8 cm) long and weight more than a pound (453 grams) — was ejected from the plane’s passenger toilets and froze as it hurtled thousands of kilometers and landed on their house in Wiltshire.
Keith and Ruth Mead of Corncockle Close, Melksham, were confused as to what they should put on the insurance claim form.
Keith, 70, said, “We’re sure it came from an airliner passing overhead. Where else would it have come from?”
He found shattered fragments from the frozen piece of “poo” after the couple heard a “horrendous crash.” Thinking there had been an accident on the road, Keith rushed outside to find a chasm in his roof and the ice lying a few meters away.
He picked it up in bewilderment, only to quickly put it down again when he saw suspicious brown streaks in the frozen lump. The couple fear the repair bill will top the £1,000 (US$1,538) mark because the poo ball also ripped the roof felting.(SD-Agencies)
