Investigation after plane damages roof
14.09.09
An investigation is to be carried out after people living near Belfast City Airport said that a low-flying jet smashed roof tiles on a house, the BBC reports. Katrin Irvine who lives beneath the flight path said she heard a ‘big bang’ at about 13:00 yesterday. About 30 tiles had come off her roof and landed in several neighbour's gardens.
Mrs Irvine said: ‘The neighbours told me a plane had come over and it looked like some kind of backdraft or vortex had taken off part of my roof.’ A spokesman for the airport said that they would investigate the report, adding: ‘All aircraft approaching the airfield do so in accordance with strict CAA regulations.'
