Tire falls from small plane, lands in Chicago neighborhood
CHICAGO - A tire fell from a small plane that was flying over a Chicago neighborhood Thursday evening, startling the residents below.
Rose Bock told the Associated Press she heard a loud boom in her neighbor's yard, about seven miles from the airport.
“I didn’t know what it was. I didn’t know if it was in my house. I checked the basement, everything,” Bock said. “I really didn’t look outside.”
Shonah Grant and her husband also spotted the tire in a neighbor's yard and said their children heard a loud bang as well.
“It is a little freaky, because where we live we’re right in a flight path to O’Hare. We have massive planes that fly over,” Grant said. “Thank God it was a small plane, but it’s really surreal.”
