I saw another "1 in a million" recently--frozen flushed remains from an airplane toilet crashes into house, causing significant damage. FAA person said it was a one in a million event.
Ok--one in a million houses are damaged that way? probably not or about 100 or so houses in the US will have been damaged that way. One in a million flights damage a house that way? hmm..I recall there are about 40,000 flights per day on average, so every 25 days a house would be damaged. I don't think that's likely. Or--one in a million flushes damages a house? that's even less likely.
