Recently in a suburb of Mumbia, India residents were more than a little inconvenienced when a Boeing 737 was abandoned on their street.

A truck driver was delivering the wingless jet to an unknown customer when he happened to take a wrong turn. The street he ended up on left him unable to go forward or to go backwards. He ended up fleeing the scene leaving the large jet in the middle of traffic.

The plane might have been moved by this time, but when I first read this story the plane was still waiting to be moved, residents were irate and homeless men had moved into the jets cargo hold and had set up a kitchen.

What’s your worst fear? Is it flying? Is it being hit by lightening? Maybe something falling from the sky?

It wasn’t exactly a bolt from the blue. More like blue ice from the sky. An elderly Chino, California couple had a chunk of blue ice crashed through their roof recently. William McElroy says it was so loud, they had thought a car hit their house. Evelyn McElroy is amazed no one was hurt and figures “somebody extra” was looking out for them. Federal aviation officials are investigating if the blue ice came from a leaking airplane toilet holding tank.

Nice. They probably got hit by frozen pee! I wonder how often that happens?

Well, it could have been worse - they could have been hit by a plane experiencing software failure:
