Apparently an automobile engine.

It was a two sentence article.

Incredible photo... looks like a substantial house. The flying engine ripped through the bricks and everything.

I would love to read the entire story, but it's under lock and key. Since when is MassLive a subscription site? I used to read it all the time for free. GRR!

Where was the street in relation to the house? Was the car rocket propelled?
