I went and had a look at it because it was making so much noise, flying very low, and suddenly saw three or four pieces of metal falling off the aircraft. One of them was a very large piece, I estimate it was about 20 feet long, very difficult to tell of course when you see them coming down out of the sky. But it certainly gave me a bit of scare."
