>Ah, the old "blue ice" trick.  It happens when the toilet servicer forgets to replace the "doughnut" (plug) in the dump line and the water seeps past the dump valve and the cap.  The airline I worked for dropped a nose wheel on a house in Colorado Springs. It went through the  roof, two floors and into the basement.  All things considered I'd prefer the ice.

Bisbee makes a great "Approach Control" landmark for Sky Harbor 
(Phoenix) Airport.   Flights out of Atlanta  like Delta, and American 
out of Dallas, and Southwest from a variety of east coast locations 
could line up on Tucson for final approach and try "bombing runs" on 
Bisbee.   Less "load" on the aircraft, less wear on the tires.....but 
does Bisbee need that much water?
