The ice, which he believed dropped out of the plane, crashed through the roof of Mississauga's home

A man from Mississauga says that they are happy to be safe after the big boulder ice that he believed dropped out of the plane, crashing through the roof of his home and landing steps away from his bed.

Tony Caccavo told Global News that his wife heard loud poking around 6:30 am Wednesday and saw damage in their bedroom cabinets. He said that he called him and returned to his home, located near Winston Churchill Boulevard and The Collegeway, about 20 kilometers south of Toronto Pearson International Airport to see what happened.

"At first, I thought I had a leak on the roof, but then he built ice and then he fell," said Caccavo.

"When I came home when my wife called, I saw a hole and said:" In any case, it had to come out of the air. "

He said that the impact force threw some of the icebergs under the bed a few meters away.

"I was a fool. I said, "What the hell?" We're not safe here, even sleeping at home. One minute can change everything. In a way, we have a lot of luck, "said Caccavo.

Two meters a little [one] That's how I would get my wife. Four meters [to another] Get away from my son. And half an hour ago, he would have got me because I went to work in six. "

He said they were waiting for the officials' answers on what had happened. Caccavo said that his insurance company agreed to cover most of the damage.

According to the archived flight data on the website of the airport, Boeing 767-300, which flew to Toronto from Las Vegas, flew over Caccavo's neighborhood at 6:29 am.

Air Canada Air from Las Vegas, 1854, was estimated to have arrived at Pearson Airport at 6:56 am. A spokeswoman for Air Canada told Global News that they are unaware that any of the aircraft in the company would be involved in such situations.

The WestJet 1119 flight from Las Vegas was estimated to have arrived at Pearson Airport at 6:53. A representative of the airline was not available for comment on Wednesday night.

Global News turned to Transport Canada, the Federal Aviation Ministry, on Wednesday night to inquire about the incident, but officials were unable to comment.

A spokesman for the Canadian Transport Safety Committee, the agency responsible for investigating major accidents involving all major modes of transport, told Global News that officials had not been investigated since midnight.

Asked about the damage, aviation expert Jock Williams said that it was very likely that the ice had come from the plane.

"It takes a million drops to get the speed you need to penetrate the roof," he told Global News.

"A 5-pound object that falls with 10,000 feet – or 20,000, or anything else – will go through every house or roof you want to place."

Williams says that the accumulation of ice on the planes does not occur in rocks, such as those shown by Caccavo, but in thin sheets. He was thinking about some of the causes of falling ice.

"Perhaps when they were cycling with a tool on land, a piece of ice was made," he said, adding that a leakage point may have occurred in the pillar.

The other theory was that uncontaminated liquids that the personnel on the ground drained into the toilet system might have built right in the door of the compartment and were released during the year.

"All you need is a little turbulence," Williams said.

"Throw ice that weighs a few pounds against very thin aluminum doors. Opens the door, the ice falls out, the doors fall back into place and are pressed by the air pressure. "

He said that this type of incident is not outrageous, as there are many more incidents in unoccupied areas.

"There are probably many more of these things, then we know that ice falls into someone's yard or land in a place where no one can find it," said Williams.
