[P]FREEPORT, Pa. -- U.S. Airways said it''s not to blame, but it did send a crew to clean up a house in western Pennsylvania.
[P]A woman who lives in the South Buffalo Township, Pa., home said she found purple, black and blue ice clumps on her house, sidewalk, swimming-pool cover and her mother-in-law''s car.
[P]The FAA is trying to determine if it was bathroom waste from a passing passenger jet. [BR][BR]The agency says it''s quite possible for what''s known as blue ice -- airline lavatory waste -- to break away from planes as they descend to warmer altitudes.
[P]It''s illegal for planes to dump lavatory waste in flight.[FONT size=3] [/FONT][/P]

Heh, looks like US Air sh-ts on someone else besides employees for a change
 
How did they determine it was U? Did a jet full of U management pass overhead, and as their s**t does not stink, was readily identifiable?

Oh, the urge to descend to potty humor!!

Seriously, I am unaware of any means to intentionally dump a lav inflight. Am I missing something, or is this just a failure of the mechanical doughnut that holds back the noxious tide?
