Frozen excrement dropped from plane crashes through house roof

    A Canadian woman has claimed a frozen lump of excrement from a plane passing overhead ripped through the roof of her mother’s house. Stephanie Moore said she was woken up by a crashing sound and saw a huge hole in the ceiling in the hallway - less than 15ft from where she was sleeping. The 36-year-old teacher had been staying with her mother overnight after returning from a trip to Cuba.

Ms Moore told CBC News: "At first I thought it was just damage to th...

In the BBC interview, seasoned journalist Husain had pressed Suu Kyi about the plight of the persecuted Rohingya minority, who have been hardest hit by deadly bouts of communal vio...
