But, if it were a lightweight object, it could be blown upwards before it fell. And, that might be enough to make someone think it came from the ceiling. For example, in winter, when truck drivers don't clear the snow off the top, the snow will often break off in large, thin chunks that get blown up 5 or so feet above the truck.
Who knows, though. I was skeptical when I first saw that post on Reddit, which basically looked like this: "Hi, a piece of the tunnel ceiling fell on me and I decided not to call 911 and report a potentially life-threatening condition... I figured it would be better to post about it on the internet instead. Please advise."
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I read the original on reddit, but as of this morning, no one had updated the poster that it had been checked out. Stuff on reddit spins out of control & into tinfoil asshat land so quickly, I figured it would help to stop (some of) it by posting that no evidence of falling ceiling was found.

Exactly. Surely if some thing significant actually fell in front of this person they would have called 911 immediately.
I know I would have.
