Airplane's Toilet Ice Crashes Garden Party
Mon Sep 6, 9:50 PM ET Add Strange News - AP to My Yahoo!
GRAZ, Austria - It was an inelegant intruder on a sunny afternoon: a chunk of ice from a jetliner toilet that broke free and slammed into an Austrian family's garden.
No one was injured when the ice tumbled from the sky Sunday afternoon in Graz, about 120 miles south of Vienna, authorities said. The fragment bore deep into the soil in the garden, where the unidentified family was enjoying a lazy summer afternoon.
Police said the 6-inch ice ball almost certainly came from an airliner toilet, judging from its blue color and its odor. They did not elaborate.

This is even funnier than the Dave Matthews Band's tour bus sewage dropping incident.

I seem to recall a couple of these happening here in the US a few years ago.
For those plane designers out there --- how the heck can that happen ? I thought these systems were sealed ?
