FAA investigating after large chunk of ice crashes through house and lands on couch

WHITTIER, Calif. -- Federal authorities are investigating after a California resident reported that a large chunk of ice fell from the sky and crashed through the roof of a house and landed on a couch.

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.

The home is under the Los Angeles International Airport landing approach. Data from Flightradar24 shows there were planes flying over the house around the time of the incident, and there is a plane over the house approximately every 3 minutes.

Now, Hahn is requesting a thorough and timely Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) investigation into the bizarre 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."

On Tuesday, Hahn sent a letter to FAA Deputy Administrator Chris Rocheleau, demanding the investigation take place.

The owner of the home says she submitted a formal complaint to the FAA and is saving the ice in a freezer bag for the investigation. The gaping hole in the ceiling has since been patched up.

"We definitely want to know what it consists of and if it's going to affect our health. Secondly, we understand if it is an airplane or something of the fact, that we understand why it happens, because even right now as we're speaking, there's a plane over us and it's scary," Manga said.

Manga noted that the ice has a bad smell, and she is somewhat concerned that she touched the ice and doesn't know what it consists of.

At this time, the exact origin of the ice is unknown.

The FAA said it is investigating, and that the agency investigates every report it receives alleging ice fell from an airplane and damaged property.
