At least over this kid's house it is!
And thank God it was just an ice chuck, not a piece of the plane like in Donnie Darko...
The Federal Aviation Administration has launched an investigation into a large piece of ice that fell from the sky and damaged the roof of a North Side house Wednesday night. The home -- on the 4200 block of North Wolcott Avenue -- is about 10 miles from Runway 28 at O'Hare International Airport, and lies under one of the airport's flight paths. The FAA intends to look into whether any planes approaching O'Hare at the time of the incident may have leaked water. "We heard a big boom. The whole house shook," said Paul Dowd of the unexpected encounter with the ice chunk. "And I looked outside. I thought it was the "L," or something that, I don't know, exploded, or whatever." His family heard a bang about 7:52 p.m. and rushed out of the house, where they found remnants of a large piece of ice that had struck and damaged their roof. READ MORE
