A 20-pound piece of metal fell from the sky yesterday morning and crushed the passenger side of a rental car parked at a U.S. Postal Service mailing facility in Jersey City, authorities said.

No one was injured and law enforcement officials believe the chunk of metal fell from a passing plane, according to reports.

Alfred Michaels, of Mentor, Ohio, had parked his rented Pontiac at the facility at 80 County Road at 7:30 a.m., reports said.

When he returned to his car at 9:45 a.m., he found the piece of metal next to the car, and the car's passenger-side pillar and window smashed, according to Jersey City police.

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and U.S. Postal Service police are also investigating.

Hope I'm not :offtopic:, but I just cannot help but notice the State of Ohio pops up again.?.?.? With SOTT news and other sources available, out of this whole world of named countries, territories, provinces, and states, OHIO keeps popping up and up. Is it just me? Am I biased just because I live here? Or do I perhaps have a front row seat to a really big show coming.?.?.?
