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. |
