“Killer Litter” might make a great name for a heavy metal band of puppies who play instruments, but it’s also a great way of expressing just how deadly everyday items can be when dropped from a height.
We already know that placing flowerpots and other bulky items on the window ledge is a bad idea, but it turns out that other household items can pose a danger to those on the ground floor as well.
Like a bamboo pole.
Bamboo Pole from HDB Flat Dropped & Pierced Into Parked Car at Bukit Batok
At around 8:45am on Wednesday morning (22 Dec), a resident of Block 247 Bukit Batok Avenue 5 was having her breakfast when she heard a loud noise.
When she went to the window to look for the source, she discovered that a bamboo pole had impaled the rear windshield of a Kia car at the car park.
Alarmed, she kept her eyes on the car for some time, but the owner didn’t turn up. Fortunately, no one was inside the car at the time.
The incident came to the public’s attention after a video of the impaled car was shared in a post by the Facebook page Singapore Incidents:
Though it’s certainly no laughing matter as someone could have got been seriously hurt, it was rather amusing to see one clothes peg still clamped to the pole:
As one of the commenters pointed out, it’s fortunate that it was a car and not a person at that place at that precise moment.

Parties Come to Agreement
According to Shin Min Daily News, the pole had dropped from the 9th floor.
A police report indicated that the driver of the Kia only noticed the gaping hole in his car’s rear windshield at 6:40pm that day, after which he called the authorities.
Since it still had a clothes peg attached to it, the authorities were able to find the owner, with the help of another resident.
The resident who had placed the bamboo pole insists that he had placed the pole securely, surmising that it was blown off by a strong gust of wind.
He has since apologised to the Kia owner, and the two parties have reportedly settled the issue privately.
Back in 2019, an man was charged with causing death by performing a rash act after throwing a wine bottle from the seventh-storey lift landing of his apartment that hit and killed a 73-year-old man.
If guilty, the man can be jailed for up to five years and fined.
