FAA Investigating Whether Piece Of Hot Metal Came From An Airplane

JERSEY CITY (CBS/AP) ―

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating whether a piece of hot metal that fell through the roof of a Jersey City business came from an airplane.

FAA spokeswoman Arlene Salac says investigators are headed to the business -- the Al Smith Moving Company.

Owner Al Smith tells WCBS radio that no one was injured. He says the metal is about the size of a brick and came crashing through the roof around 10 a.m.

Officials at the scene also confirmed to WCBS radio that the metal was too hot to touch for about 30 minutes after crashing through the roof.

Salac tells The Record of Bergen County that if it is determined that the metal came from an aircraft, the FAA will look into what airplanes may have flown over that area.
