BURNSVILLE, Minn. – Poop apparently from an airplane on a flight path into MSP splattered on a woman’s car as she was waiting for her morning coffee at a Caribou drive-through. “It was like it rained brown for a second,” said Carisa Browne. She got out and went to the next car, which was drenched too: “I was like, ‘What just happened to us?’ And he was like, ‘I have no idea.’” Other cars were bombed too. She looked up. There wasno flock of birds up there. Browne, a trained aircraft mechanic, knows something about aviation. It was no bird, she said. “I didn’t know that there was even a way to release it mid-flight, so that’s why I’m a little confused.” She proceeded in line to the drive-up window. The server got a whiff, held her nose, and handed over the coffee anyway. Browne didn’t say whether she still had any hankering for it.
Fecal fallout. Vision obscured by poop in incident at Caribou coffee drive-through. No reason to think Caribou was targeted.

Browne: “I was looking around, like ‘Who threw it at us?’ But it was very high. It came straight down. It hit on my roof, on my hood. It was all the way down my side. Also, my child was with me, so I’m glad the windows weren’t open.”
Verbatim
Son: “Something landed on my mom’s car. It stinked. It was poop.”
