Some crazy video footage has emerged of a large block of ice falling from the sky in London and landing just feet from a street cleaner. Here's the video footage of the incident, which occurred on Wednesday: The footage was captured from the security camera of a nearby taxi company. Fortunately no one was hit,…

Air France sued continental for their Concorde crash. For sure that airline should be sued of anyone got hurt.
Awful situation - I live right near this tube station and can tell you it gets busy in the rush hour - could have been a lot worse
Actually Air France never won the case, CO got away with it since after the merged with United. UA said it has nothing to do with them so that case actually dissolved. SMH!
I am mildly alarmed as I live beneath a flight path where planes are routinely descending in preparation for landing.
Maybe hardhats for the kids when playing in the backyard?
Kew Convenience Store is just east of LHR: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Kew+Convenience+Store/@51.4751971,-0.318363,13.15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x48760dd5b58baecf:0xf9fb8d7347c21229!8m2!3d51.476569!4d-0.28476
If the timestamp is correct, it could've been one of these flights. Someone with more time might be able to plot the coordinates vs. time and see which one actually passed overhead this area at the right time.

Did he earn lots of miles? How is this related to this blog? Are you running out of topics? Remember, you can also take Swiss and Aeroplan to court about missing out on first class experience and write about it.
I agree with the others, it shouldn't be too hard to find a handful of planes that could have caused this, if there's a maintenance issue then it should be fixed.
@jackie - give it a rest.
Wow! Scary as hell!
Not sure if anyone on here ever watched the show Six Feet Under, but each episode started off with a different random death, and one of them included this exact thing, with an ice chunk coming down and killing a lady.
@Jackie - This is Lucky's blog. As far as I'm concerned, he can write about whatever the hell he wants on here.
Knock it off.
Is there a flag to report comments using abusive terms? Looks like it is needed, sadly.
@Daleinthesky
Indeed. Six Feet Under is the best thing ever made for US television, even better than The Sopranos.
This incident happened very close to Kew Gardens, a magical place for a a few hours or more. The Lockerbie Oak is there, commemorating those who died on Pan Am 103 ( 30 years ago in December).
At least we know where it comes from in Texas!

Unfortunately this blog attracts quite a lot of immature fanboys who feel entitled to attack anyone whose opinion differs from theirs.
Lucky just encourages them and selectively removes posts, but seems to keep a lot of racist and abusive posts. Strangely anything misogynistic seems to get removed very quickly.
