A missing wing flap from a Delta Air Lines jet was found in the driveway of a Raleigh, North Carolina, home after the plane landed Tuesday night at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The FAA confirmed to CBS News that the part found in the driveway was a piece of a wing flap that belonged to Delta Flight No. 3247, a Boeing 737-900, which departed from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International and landed at Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
"Delta Air Lines informed the FAA that an inspection of Flight 3247, after it landed safely Tuesday night at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, revealed part of a wing flap was missing," the FAA said Wednesday in a statement. "The FAA determined the part found on a driveway in Raleigh is from that aircraft and is investigating."
