Around 200 passengers onboard a British Airways aircraft to London survived a mid-air accident at 35,000 feet after a block of ice from a jet flying about 1,000 feet above it smashed onto the windscreen of the plane and left it cracked, media reports stated.
Flight BA2236 was in the skies with holiday travellers from London’s Gatwick international airport to San Jose in Costa Rica on Christmas Day when the freak incident happened.
The block of ice shattered the two-inch-thick windscreen, which is nearly bulletproof to withstand extreme force. However, the aircraft landed safely at San Jose.
