Hole size of basketball punched through Bush Hill Park home by 'ice from plane'
A WOMAN got the fright of her life when she found ice falling from an aircraft had smashed through the roof of her home and into her bedroom.
Marcia Fordjour came back from work last week to find a hole bigger than a basketball in her roof and bedroom ceiling.
Smashed roof tiles, insulation, and broken plasterboard were scattered across the room, along with several chunks of ice.
Ms Fordjour believes ice from an aircraft overhead is the only explanation for the damage to her home, in St Mark's Road.

The phenomenon of falling ice is relatively rare in the UK, although there have been reports of buildings, cars, and even people which have been hit.
The Civil Aviation Authority says most ice from aircrafts melts before it reaches the ground,
but there are, on average, two reports a year of falling ice.
