Part of U.S. Airways plane breaks and falls to the ground somewhere in Maryland
Do you live in Maryland? Did you find an unknown piece of metal in your backyard this afternoon? If so, U.S Airways and the FAA, no doubt, would like to have a word with you, as it most likely fell off the wing of one of their planes. A local ABC affiliate reports,
"The company notified local fire departments that a 17-square-inch piece of wing fell off and may be somewhere in Anne Arundel or Prince George's County, or even somewhere near Kent Island."
U.S. Airways officials are confident it fell off somewhere over Maryland, but they're not quite sure exactly where. Help them out, please.

The local media is now reporting that the Anne Arundel County Fire Department has received word the piece was "as large as 60 inches by 90 inches or about 5' by 7.5'."
I'm glad it didn't hit my house!
