Hlynur Hallgríms of Reykjavík, Iceland, tried to drop his garbage down the chute in his apartment building last night as a storm was passing through the city. The garbage chute declined to take it, or else someone was breaking the law of gravity. What weird pneumatic forces caused the floating trash bag? I have no answers, but there is plenty of speculation in the discussion at Metafilter.

This has happened to me. There is a reason this chute has a strong latch and a rubber gasket. An architect once explained that it has something to do with natural pressure gradients. This likely happened above the 10th floor of a high rise.
