Danville, Calif. -- Several pieces from a FedEx Corp. cargo plane dropped from the sky into a neighborhood in this San Francisco suburb Monday night, authorities said.
Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration said three pieces of the plane fell to the ground around 8 p.m., landing mostly in empty yards.
The FedEx crew, flying from Oakland to Dallas, did not know it had lost the parts from around an engine until it landed safely in Texas, the FAA said.

I'm too busy being pissed off that Danville is a SF suburb. That's the new plan to swallow the red states....SF and NY grow until they merge.

The main thing is that the parts were delivered before 10:00 the next morning.
