A frozen block of poo and urine is believed to have landed on a woman in India, injuring her shoulder.

The woman was lucky to escape with her life, as the ‘poo-bomb’ glanced off a nearby rooftop instead of smashing directly into her skull.

It was the size of a football, the Times of India reported, and could have been deadly.


The ‘poo from the blue’ is believed to have come from a passing aeroplane, which unintentionally dropped a ball of frozen urine and excrement from its toilet.

It happened in the Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh on December 17, where 60-year-old Rajrani Gaud was walking.



School teacher Deepak Jain told the Times: ‘I was only 25 feet away from the spot where the monster came crashing down.

‘Children and villagers witnessed the fall and then heard screams. We ran towards Rajrani’s house and referred her to hospital.’

Aside from cryo-poo, it could conceivably also be a gigantic piece of hail but this is seen as unlikely as there was no other hail at that time.

This is not the first time faeces has flown. In October last year, a British couple attributed damage to their roof to the same problem.

The Civil Aviation Authority say incidents like this are relatively rare. Aeroplanes try to store toilet waste until landing, but sometimes the mechanism fails.

In comparison to the 2.5 million flights a year in UK airspace, approximately 25 ice falls per year are reported to the CAA, said a spokesman.
