I like the attitude here : Start by blaming airplanes and calling in the
FAA. When they sadly inform you that airplanes are not made of cast iron,
then check around for more probable causes. For a wood chipper to send a
significant chunk of cast iron through someone's roof, it must have been
very nearby. Wouldn't it make sense to check there first before calling
in the FAA?



JERSEY CITY, N.J. A note to someone in northern New Jersey: Check what
you're putting through your wood chipper. Al Smith was forklifting a sofa
in his moving company's warehouse in Jersey City on Wednesday morning
when he heard a sound he thought was a bomb. A chunk of hot metal the
size of a brick came crashing through the roof just steps from him. It
splintered a wooden beam and crashed into a shelf.

The Federal Aviation Administration looked at the object and determined
it wasn't from an airplane. Mayor Jerramiah Healy said the cast iron
object came from a nearby wood chipper.

Smith was not hurt but said he was shaken up. He feels so lucky it missed
him that his next step was to buy a lottery ticket.
