A China Airlines Cargo Boeing 747 lost parts of its right wing while on approach to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Sunday afternoon.
The parts landed on a woman’s house.
‘The woman lives on Newton Estate Drive in Clayton County, along a direct flight path to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Another piece of the plane landed at a Walmart on Anvil Block Road, just a couple of miles away.
Channel 2’s Tony Thomas watched as mechanics and inspectors canvassed the right wing of the plane Wednesday night, replacing the 20-foot section that ripped off.
Homeowner Pamela Ware told Thomas she’s thankful she survived after part of that wing hit her house.’
Thankfully, there were no injuries.
The FAA is investigating the cause of the incident.
