Title: Bucket Falls From Aircraft Through Shop Roof
Post by: eye30 on January 21, 2013, 13:35:27

A bucket of cleaning solution has fallen from a US military aircraft, smashing through the roof of a garage in California.

It happened near the Miramar Air Station in San Diego.

US Marine Corps spokesman Lieutenant Tyler Balzer said the five-gallon bucket had been strapped down inside an Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, but it somehow came loose and slid out shortly after it took off.

Imagine the insurance claim report.
It reminds me of a similar story a few years ago about a cow that fell from the skies on to a fishing boat in, IIRC, the Mediterranean.
