Couple Sues JetBlue After a Block of Ice Fell From a Plane and Crashed Into Their Bedroom



The sky is falling, the sky is falling! — at least for one California couple. On New Year’s Day, Michael and Leah Reese were settling into bed for the evening when a large block of ice the size of a watermelon slammed into their bedroom, just missing their bed. The couple, who lives near Los Angeles International Airport in Inglewood, are now suing JetBlue for $1 million, alleging the ice ball came from JetBlue Flight 2715, which was flying over their home at that exact moment. The couple is asking for $300,000 for emotional distress, $300,000 for pain and suffering, $40,000 in medical expenses, and $360,000 in property damages. The FAA investigation found that the aircraft had a “history of potable water issues dating back to July 2023,” and was allegedly responsible for a similar incident in August 2023. In that case, a slab of “clear ice” crashed through the roof of a home in Boston. The Reeses says they live in fear that this will happen again, which has caused them to begin looking for a new place to live.
