Beautiful but dangerous
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Fernando Burgos-Ortiz, 35th Fighter wing broadcaster, demonstrates how not to get icicles off a building Jan. 10, 2011 at Misawa Air Base, Japan. Do not attempt to knock down icicles with your hands. The Self-Help Store provides poles so you can be a safe distance away when knocking them down.
