CALGARY - A Calgary woman narrowly avoided getting hit by several chunks of ice that crashed through her bedroom ceiling Thursday morning, likely dropped from a passing airplane.

The city fire department says the woman was in the room and only a few steps away when debris "exploded" from the roof shortly before 9:30 a.m.

Fire crews found several chunks of ice about 15 centimetres long on the bed, along with pieces of shingles, plywood, drywall and insulation.

The best guess is the "frozen liquid" fell from a passing airplane. And fire department spokesman Jeff Budai says he can't think of anything else that would cause such damage.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is looking into the incident and confirms that a couple of airplanes were in the area at the time.
