B747 engine part crashes into Belgian family home

If there is a loud bang on the roof and/or in the front yard, check it out as a precaution. Especially when it comes from the garage area. A couple from Waremme (Belgium) couldn't help but look at the large part of an airplane engine lying in their front yard.

And this one is really big because it came from the Boeing 747-400F with the registration TF-AMC. The freighter operated by Air Atlanta was en route between Liège and Malta as CC320. For reasons that are still unclear, parts of an engine came loose. These crashed onto the roof of the spouses. Then they fell into the front yard.

According to official information from the homeowners, the covering of their single-family home suffered significant material damage. Fortunately, there was no personal injury and the vehicle, which according to the photos available is in the immediate vicinity of the point where the engine part came to rest, is said to be intact.

The family was shocked and could not identify the "metal part" at first. The police and the fire brigade were called. They then revealed to the family that it was part of a Boeing 747 and that they were very lucky. Since the fire brigade and the police are not responsible for finding the cause, there was a visit from the Belgian aviation accident investigation authority a short time later. Among other things, she took photos and then took it with her for further investigation purposes.
