A family in Naples, Florida, whose home was struck by debris that fell to Earth from outer space and punched a hole in the roof is pursuing $80,000 from Nasa in compensation for damages.
The law firm Cranfill Sumner said in a press release that it filed a claim on behalf of plaintiff Alejandro Otero and his family.
A metallic cylinder slab from a cargo pallet that had been released by the International Space Station in 2021 hit the Otero family home on 8 March 2024 while their son Daniel was home. No one was injured, though it created a hole in the roof and floor.
Otero told Wink News that the object almost hit his son, who was two rooms over.
The US space agency later confirmed the debris was from its flight support equipment. A section of the debris remained intact rather than disintegrating after it entered Earth’s atmosphere before falling to the surface.
Imagine if space shit killed your dog
Fuck right off, my life sucks enough. My precious little dog is my one ray of sunshine in my life, he’s always happy to see me and never fails to bring a smile to my face. Dogs are just the best, idk how anyone could possibly not like them, it just doesn’t compute for me.
Yeah I love dogs too
Dogs are the best, I’ll never understand how people can dislike them.
I like dogs, but would never own one. To much love, to needy.
I want a cat to resent me for rest of its life cause I smoosh it every day.
