A British Airways plane with 200 passengers on board survived a mid-air scare at 35,000 feet after a lump of ice from an aircraft flying 1,000 feet above damaged its windscreen leaving deep cracks, according to media reports.</p>
<p>
The Boeing 777 aircraft was making the journey from London to San Jose in Costa Rica on Christmas Day when the freak accident took place.</p>
<p>
The block of ice completely cracked up the two-inch-thick windscreen, which is built to withstand extreme force and is similar to bulletproof glass.</p>

The aircraft landed safely at San Jose.</p>

The incident has been described as a &lsquo;one-in-a-million&rsquo; chance and left another 200 passengers stranded over Christmas as they could make it back home to London.</p>
