Bucket of cleaning solution plunges from military helicopter into San Diego business
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Marine Corps spokesman says a bucket of cleaning solution fell from a military helicopter and smashed through the roof of a San Diego business, but nobody was hurt.
KGTV-TV says the accident happened Wednesday evening near the Miramar air station.
Lt. Tyler Balzer says the 5-gallon bucket of cleaning solution was strapped down inside an Osprey but it somehow came loose and slid out shortly after the chopper took off from Miramar.

A half-dozen vehicles were splashed with the watery solution.
Balzer says the shop owners can file a claim with the Marine Corps for restitution.
