LOS ANGELES—A California couple is suing JetBlue after narrowly escaping being crushed when a watermelon-size block of ice allegedly fell from a commercial airliner and smashed through the roof of their Inglewood home, landing inches away from their bed, according to court papers obtained Tuesday.
The ice chunk allegedly fell around 8 p.m. on Jan. 1, 2024, from a JetBlue Airbus traveling from New York City’s JFK International Airport to LAX, forcing the couple to move for fear of a repeat incident, according to the complaint filed in L.A. federal court.
