A homeowner in Whittier is left picking up the pieces after a large block of ice mysteriously fell from the sky and crashed through his home, according to Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn. Photos shared by Hahn show what appears to be a large mass of ice covered in dirt that landed on the couch inside the man's home, plus a large hole torn through the ceiling. It happened just after 11:15 a.m. on April 10.
Hahn says resident Yuder Grau heard what sounded like an explosion, and that's when he discovered the block of ice and damage to the living room ceiling. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Homeowner Thania Manga looked up flight data, which showed that a plane was passing directly over the neighborhood at the time of the incident.
'We are lucky that Yuder was not in his living room when this block of ice crashed through his ceiling,' she said. 'I am bringing this incident to the attention of the FAA because they need to investigate what happened and take whatever steps necessary to prevent it from happening again.'
At this time, it's unknown where the ice originated from.
