Jet's Toilet Waste Crushes Woman's Car
New Media Producer: Kerry Corum
It came from the friendly skies, but caused quite a bit of damage.
Frozen waste from a jet's toilet smashed onto a woman's car last week, crushing part of the roof and shattering the windshield.
A Massachusetts woman says no one is willing to help her pay for the repairs, or take responsibility.
Nina Gambone says federal aviation officials determined the chunk of frozen debris came from a jet's lavatory. But, a spokesman says they can't do anything unless it can identify the airline responsible.
Gambone says she called her fire department in Leominster, which says they can't remove the glob because it is classified as hazardous waste.
The only good news is the woman and her 13-year-old son had just left the car before it was hit.

A Massachusetts woman says no one is willing to help her pay for the repairs...Incidentally, Massachusetts has "no fault" insurance. The woman probably also has "comprehensive" insurance as well. And the insurance company is dragging its feet?
To: ambrose
If she has comprehensive coverage on her car insurance, they should take care of it. If she doesn't, she's responsible.

If this was John Kerry's private jet the irony would be unbearable.

I see our Homeland security is so tight that no one can identify any particular airliner flying overhead at a given time. Lazy officials.
