Now that NowPublic has a "Strange" category, that category seems very, very easy to fill... a holding-tank malfunctin resulted in a frigid dungbomb that smashed through a couple's roof. Nobody was injured.

Chunks of ice that smashed through a Calgary woman's roof came from the lavatory of an airplane flying overhead, transportation investigators said Thursday.

Marian Liknes was sitting and talking on the phone in the bedroom of her southeast home Thursday morning when she heard what she thought was an explosion behind her, said her husband, Wade.

Firefighters found two to three 15-centimetre chunks of ice on a bed inside the home, along with pieces of shingles, plywood, drywall and insulation.

The falling ice broke a hole about 30 centimetres wide in the roof.

Transport Canada doesn't keep stats on this sort of occurence, so we can start now:

One.
