DANVILLE -- Moments after a Federal Express MD-11 cargo jet took off from Oakland International Airport, it lost at least three parts of one of its engines, dropping them on three homes in the Danville area.
"At 3:30 in the morning, my wife wakes me up and the door bell is ringing, ringing, ringing," said Jim Moura, who had a part land on his roof. "What the heck is going? I go to the door and the guy says: 'We're back again...to get the thing off the roof.' I said I don't want anyone up there at that time of the night. But he says they are already up there."
Moura said when the part hit his roof it sounded like "a truck hitting the house."
Residents -- who live east of Interstate Highway 680 on Turrini Circle, Betten Court and Adobe Drive -- also said they were told not to take pictures of the parts by the Danville Fire Department.
A Federal Express spokesman said the jet took off from its Oakland sub-hub at about 8:10 p.m. Monday. It landed in Texas at 1:30 a.m. local time.
"The plane made it safely to Dallas from Oakland," Hicks said. "It's unusual. Something like that rarely happens." (no shiznit)
