You know how it is, you're minding your own business in the garden, when a frozen corpse hits the ground a metre away from you...

Yup,heard the story on the radio this morning,grim.
Grim, but more common than you would imagine, I'm afraid. Surviving Everest altitudes is unlikely.

Bad man PP!!! Off to the step with you...
Was it just about half past ten?
Deserves applause, but.....
Seemed to happen a lot more in the past. This the first one I’ve heard about in the UK for quite a while. I’m assuming security has been beefed up a lot since 9-11 and this has been a side benefit.
Man, that's horrible. 🙁
What SPF to use under a flight path?
Deleted. Link already posted.
GtiJunior has just moved into a room in Twickenham, right under the flight path. Hope nobody drops in on him....
Looking at that wiki link I am amazed that a few folk have actually survived.

Is that not primarily due to the Altitude? and I suppose flight time also...
First couple on the list survived in the wheel wells of DC3's in the 40's Which had a much lower ceiling around 22,000 ft? where later passenger jets from the late 50s onward went higher for and for longer...
For a lot of the later survivors the list seems to note altitudes at or below 35,000ft, a couple managed at 38/39,000ft so more short haul flights perhaps?
I note there seem to be more documented instances in recent years, but the survival rate looks to be dropping...
Horrible.
I can't imagine the person who was sunbathing is in a rush to get back out there either.
I used to live in Clapham in the 90's.
I'm sure there were tales of lumps of ice & aeroplane debris landing in gardens then. Railway arms& Mistress P's were crackers btw.

What you up to today?
