Video: Ice block from sky almost hits street cleaner

London - The incident was caught on camera of a taxi firm boss.

A street cleaner in London had a narrow escape after a huge block of ice falling from the sky hit him.
The ice block is believed to have fallen from the aircraft.
The incident was caught on camera of a taxi firm boss, Mos Syed, the Sky News reported.
"When I watched the footage, I was shocked to see it was the size of a boulder. It was enormous. It must have been about 20kg. It was like the film End Of Days or asteroids falling out of the sky. If it had fallen on someone, it would have killed them," said Syed.
"It's shocking really. I walk along that street with my children every day. We should all be grateful no one was severely injured."

Serhiy Mysehkov, who was it by the block told Richmond and Twickenham Times that he was sweeping on the other side of the road when he heard a loud boom.
"It all happened very quickly. I wasn't scared, but it could kill you. I feel lucky."
A Civil Aviation Authority spokesman said: "Ice falls can be as a result of meteorological phenomena, however ice falls from aircraft are considered to be rare in UK airspace.
"The CAA receives reports of around 30 ice falls every year. We are unable to investigate the potential origin of an ice fall, but do record reports of this nature."
