Alejandro Otero was out of town on vacation last month when his son called from their house in Naples, Fla., to tell him something shocking and incredible. His son, 19, had been home alone when he heard an extremely loud crash — and realized it came from inside the house.

That is crazy. They were lucky. It is a shame that they have to hire a lawyer and sue the U.S government in order to get the damages paid for. They should just pay for it and save legal fees. There is so much space junk in low orbit of our planet. This could happen again anytime. Thanks for sharing.

Home owners insurance. Now, I might think differently if there were injuries.
