According to the New York Post and other U.S. media, Michael Reese and Leah Ferrari, who live in Inglewood, California, ran to their bedrooms in shock with a huge roar in the evening.
The roof of the bedroom was open, and a chunk of ice the size of a watermelon was found right next to the bed.
A joint investigation by police, fire and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) found that the ice cube was the wreckage of an Airbus A321 belonging to the 'JetBlue' airline heading from Los Angeles to New York.
In response, Leith and Ferrari filed a $1 million (about 1.4 billion won) damages lawsuit against the airline.
This amount included not only home repair costs, but also mental damage and medical expenses.
The couple complained that they were suffering from insomnia, saying, `I don't feel safe at home.'
The lawyer argued that "It has been found that a leak has occurred in the last six months on the plane."
It also added that it was suspected of dropping ice cubes on a Massachusetts home in August 2023.
In this regard, JetBlue denied responsibility and said it has complied with industry standards and regulations.
