00:00 So I'm a resident of Banbury and I've got a massive hole in my ceiling which is unusual,
00:07 it's an unusual hole. So one day I was working just right in my office room and I just heard a
00:12 loud bang and I was just like oh my gosh you know I said just very loud and it just vibrated the
00:20 house so I thought perhaps it was a couple of boxes but when I looked I was like wow I just
00:25 saw like the ceiling just came apart just unusually and I looked underneath and I saw
00:31 a massive hole in the roof so I didn't know what to think and what to do so I was advised to call
00:39 the brigade so I called the brigade and before you know it they were right there within 10-15 minutes
00:46 it's something that they've never been called to before but they did say it was actually common
00:52 where black ice can literally come from an aeroplane and literally can hit a house at such
00:59 a high impact it's just like one in a million but I just learned something new today that these
01:05 things can happen and you kind of don't feel very safe in your home you know because that night I
01:11 was kind of like sceptical thinking okay what's going to happen if I'm going to sleep in my main
01:17 room or sleep downstairs it was like that but it was just debris ice everywhere and when I literally
01:26 picked up that ice and it was literally I just had to put it back down again it was just very
01:31 cold and it just melted by seven o'clock the same evening when we had the reefers come out to fit
01:36 the tarpaul you know I'm just in complete utter shock but you know I kind of learned something
01:43 on that very day so I kind of learned how to deal with an insurance because I've never dealt with a
01:48 house insurance in my life it was something like this so I kind of you know advise people to check
01:54 their insurance just to make sure that you've got a great deal of coverage especially with a
02:00 circumstance such as this I do get a bit paranoid when I see a plane somehow I don't know why but I
02:06 just kind of like okay there's a plane in the sky what's going to happen I get paranoid if I see
02:11 rain now coming through the roof so I'm thinking what's going to happen you know so it's that sort
02:18 of effect you know I kind of thinking okay is something going to drop you know something's
02:24 going to drop whatever but that's that's how it is.
