Mysterious Metal Object Crashing Through House Identified

Seattle, WA – a rectangular shaped metal object weighing three pounds smashed through a residential home in this city recently. The object burst through the roof of the home of two story home and left an indentation on the floor of the upper level. Local TV station KIRO-7 reported the incident as people wondered what the object might be.

It turns out some of viewers had a very good idea of what the peculiar metal object iss and phoned the answer to the station. The object is the bit for a wood chipper or “tub grinder”.

The object in question is the part that actually gnaws down the wood into shreds and sawdust.

The homeowner Bory Ouk from Cambodia said that no one was hurt. However, it could have struck dealt a mortal blow to either his mother (whose room it crashed through) or his brother-in-law as he made his way through the house. It turns out the object was from a recycling plant in the vicinity.

The TV crew relayed a message from the home owner asking if the plant would take financial responsibility for the damage and insurance deductible. The crew was promptly evicted from the premises being told only that authorities were appraised of the situation.
