FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after engine parts fell out of a plane and landed on a Fresno street.

Neighbors say chunks of metal fell from the sky and landed in the area of Swift and Barton avenues Sunday afternoon. The debris even broke at least one car's back window.



A spokesperson for the FAA says a DC-9 left the runway at Fresno Yosemite International Airport, reported an engine failure and then returned to the same runway. It appears some engine parts fell off the plane during its short time in the air.
