LOMA LINDA, Calif. (AP) - Somebody call Chicken Little, because the sky
is falling in Loma Linda.

A two-foot-long chunk of ice fell from the sky yesterday morning and
tore through a Loma Linda University's gymnasium roof.

No one was in the building when the slab of opaque ice hit, although
several people were outside.

Loma Linda's fire chief says witnesses told him it sounded like an
artillery shell going through the air.

He says authorities aren't sure where the ice came from, but a
university spokeswoman says a building repairman saw an airplane flying
overhead at the time.

Maintenance workers bagged the ice, stuck it in a freezer and plan to
hand it over to the Federal Aviation Administration.
