It's not every day airplane pieces fall out of the sky, but that's what happened.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a Spirit Airlines flight that experienced trouble on Monday and dropped plane pieces landing in residential Metro Detroit yards.
Allie Gross of the Detroit Free Press reports:
On Monday evening, a Spirit Airlines flight from Detroit to Atlanta had to return to Detroit Metro Airport after experiencing engine failure, according to the FAA. The flight was able to land without any incidents, however, in the process, some pieces from the plane landed in the yards of nearby residents.
The FAA sent investigators to look into what went awry the following day. Part of their investigation will include looking at pieces that landed in the yards.
"It's hard to speculate, we will determine the cause of the incident," said Tony Molinaro a FAA spokesperson based out of Chicago.
