They do in Ukraine, when Soviet Russians shot jumbo jet from sky. Children in playground got upset when some Dutch kid got lodged in a tree. Bodies dropped all over town that day.

Also cities would try to hide their numbers for homeless deaths and some violent crimes by classifying anything possible as a sky-body, even if it obviously had stab wounds ("postmortem stabs by a some horrible teenagers I guess"). In some places there would be tremendous, if secret, pressure from city hall to reduce the homeless population by sending police out to kill hobos during/after a bodyfall, or right before if they're predictable events.

Eating your own species is super bad for you, human or not, so we probably wouldn't eat the sky-bodies. Plus they'd probably splash on impact, and get dirt all over them.

We'd probably farm meat-eating animals with them and eat those though.

Maybe every sky corpse is identical so it's just multiple copies of one unidentified guy all over the world.

I think we'd figure out sturdy roofs a lot sooner. None of this thatching bullshit.

What if crawdads were really big, like maybe the size of ponies? That would be crazy.

Are these recently dead bodies, or just like blank doll-like bodies that have never been alive?

Because if they're recently dead we'd probably have some really elaborate waste-disposal systems. Because the sky bodies would poo poo everywhere.

How high up do these bodies appear, is plane turbulence going to become even more nail-biting?

Meanwhile the donor wait list would be a thing of the past, unless the organs were pretty useless upon impact.

We'd have BodyNets to catch them all before processing.

They would be our organ farms, our building materials, our power source & our food (somewhat indirectly, as stated above).

Because of this advantage, humans would develop faster than we have, and by this time, we'd be flying through space in ships made of people. When we land on another world, the aliens are horrified by our BodyShips, and they attack and kill us immediately. Thus began the last age of man.

Our knowledge of biology would advance much faster, imo, and we'd probably have giant bugs instead of tanks and airplanes.

That would be good, but I've always loved those ones anatomical drawings where they thought people were just filled with squiggly lines, and those would be lost to alternate timeline history.
