The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident.
– It was a quiet lunch hour for a Far Northwest Side family Monday – until it most assuredly wasn't.
As CBS 2 Political Investigator Dana Kozlov reported Monday night, United is not yet giving answers as to how this incident happened – as an investigation is under way. Meanwhile, the family that found that big plane part is just glad no one was hurt.Devitt said it was no ordinary object that fell from the sky around noon, and hit the side of their house in the 4700 block of North Chester Avenue – near Lawrence and Cumberland avenues - in the O'Hare community just east of the airport.
They were especially lucky considering Devitt's 2-year-old son was right inside eating lunch with his grandfather. Devitt said he and his father-in-law dragged the 6-foot-by-6-foot crumpled slide into the front yard - and called police and other authorities. "I think we're seeing here there could be a pattern," said transportation expert Joe Schwieterman of DePaul University.
