I have airplane parts in the garden: the police were surprised that no one was injured – VG

– We have been notified that a plane over Broomfield had engine problems and dropped aircraft parts in various neighborhoods around 08/13/2020. No injuries have been reported at this time.

The above message was sent by police in the city of Broomfield, Colorado. on Twitter on Saturday.

They have subsequently posted several new messages, asking people to get in touch if they “have aircraft parts in the garden” and “if they have been damaged by falling aircraft parts.”

The police also ask people to let them take over the parts of the aircraft, so they can have a complete overview of the range.

The parts of the aircraft come from flight 328 of the United Airlines company. The plane was heading from Denver in Colorado to Honolulu in Hawaii but had to turn around due to engine problems, writes CNN.

According to the US aviation authorities (FAA), it was the plane’s right engine that was having problems, NTB writes.

The plane, which The Denver Channel said had 231 passengers and 10 employees on board, landed safely at the Denver airport at 1:30 p.m. local time, an airport spokesperson told CNN.

Several Broomsfield residents posted messages on social media about an explosion, and the photos also showed a plane in the sky with a tail of smoke behind it.

– Many said they heard a very loud explosion, which disturbed many people. Then they began to see what they thought was a plane that fell from the sky, police spokeswoman Rachel Welte told CBS Denver.

For The Denver Channel, she says that several of the parts of the plane have fallen into Commons Park, which she describes as a popular park with many people.

– This park, on a day like today when it’s not as cold as last weekend, we could have had hundreds of people here. And the fact that we haven’t received reports of anyone being injured is completely shocking to me, he says.
