'Basketball sized' chunk of ice from the sky kills Eagle Mountain, Utah family's goat
EAGLE MOUNTAIN, Utah (KUTV) - A chunk of ice from the sky tore a hole through a Utah County family's shed and fatally injured their goat.
Cassidy Lewis said she was inside her Eagle Mountain home Monday morning when right at 9:30 a.m. she heard a loud bang from outside and the entire house shook.
When she ran outside, her animals were acting chaotic, and she saw a basketball sized hole torn through the roof of her goat shed.

If the lav access door on the outside is leaking, ice can build up when the plane is at altitude, and then when the plane comes out of altitude the ice can detach and fall from the plane. It's very rare to happen.

That is so crazy. Reality can seem a little crazy. Thankfully no people were hurt. Thank God.
As an aircraft mechanic I can tell you where the ice came from. The toilets on airliners have holding tanks just like RVs do so usually at landing a person goes to the outlet, opens a door (similar to the door that covers your fuel cap on your car) and plugs in a drain hose, then opens a valve and the holding tank drains. So sometimes that valve doesn't get closed all the way or it leaks and at 30,000 feet altitude the air is always below zero and a giant icicle forms hanging off the underside of the plane. Eventually it grows so large that it's weight breaks it off and it falls like a bomb to Earth. Another place you can see the ice falling off the plane is if you watch planes landing, usually just as the planes tires thump down on the ground the chunk of ice breaks off and shatters on the runway, spraying shards everywhere. It's actually kind of pretty but it is nasty when it melts of course (since it's shyte n P and blue water with toilet paper mixed in)
And they do what to prevent/address this ? What if that was a kid (human child lol) playing in the yard? Just saying that seems skecty 🤷♂️
