A California couple is suing JetBlue for $1 million – claiming a massive chunk of ice from one its planes crashed through their bedroom ceiling.
In a complaint filed earlier this month, Michael Reese and Leah Ferrarini said a watermelon-sized block of ice slammed into their roof home landed “directly over their bed” just after 8 p.m. last January.
The couple alleged the frozen debris fell from a JetBlue Airbus A321 that was soaring over their Inglewood home as it headed from Los Angeles to New York.
“Safety is our number one priority and guides everything we do,” JetBlue told The Post in a statement.
The airline declined to comment on the allegations.
The plaintiffs are accusing JetBlue of negligence for flying a dangerous plane, as well as trespassing – since the couple “did not grant JetBlue permission to allow the large chunk of ice to enter their home or cause damages.”
After the incident, police and firefighters were called to the home, and the Federal Aviation Administration opened an investigation, according to the lawsuit.
The California couple claimed they now suffer from insomnia and can no longer sleep well.
Reese and Ferrarini are looking to “move from their dream home because they no longer feel safe there,” the complaint said.
They are seeking $300,000 for emotional distress; $300,000 for pain, suffering, and inconvenience; $40,000 in medical expenses and $360,000 in property damages, according to the complaint.
The investigation found the plane had a six-month-long history of water issues, the lawsuit alleged.
The same A321 plane was suspected of dropping ice onto a Massachusetts home in August 2023, the suit added.
About a week after the California incident, inspections on the plane’s water system found that a valve flange – a plane part connecting a valve to a pipe – was misaligned and causing a leak, according to the suit.
In a court filing, JetBlue denied responsibility and said their conduct complied with industry standards and regulations. They asked the court to award them attorneys’ fees for the costs of the lawsuit.
