SILICON VALLEY, California (CNM) -- A massive frozen shark dropped out of a clear blue sky Tuesday and demolished a house on Granson Street south of the Yahoo! campus today.The shark fell from a private jet chartered by CEO Jerry Yang of Yahoo!, according to a statement issued Tuesday by the Silicon Valley County Sheriff's Office and the Department of Homeland Security.
"The airplane, a 747 converted transport craft, was en route from China and the campus of Alibaba.com a web portal that sells sharks fin and many illegal sharks products," a joint statement said.
Police said the area has been sealed off pending an investigation.
Representatives from Yahoo! Inc quickly pointed out that the shark was a "cultural practices issue" for Mr Yang and company and he did not want to discuss with authorities how the 17 foot frozen shark had come to be on board the private jet chartered by Yahoo! or if the shark was indeed a threatened/protected species or not.
Emergency personnel were on the scene quickly, no one was hurt in the bizarre accident, authorities said.

Hi Oliv,
Good to see you again, yes it's an Underwater Onion. We have been on Yahoo! for a couple of years now about their involvement with Alibaba.com. Even Google has disavowed shark fin portals...but not "Mr.Cultural" Jerry Yang.
And anyone wonders why Yahoo! stock is in the tank right now?
Hilarious post. :)
