PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Investigators say they now know what caused a small hole in a US Airways plane that travelled from Philadelphia to Charlotte Monday.
Sources say a stray bullet struck the rear of the Boeing 737-400 as it was landing in Charlotte.
A pilot making a pre-flight inspection during a lay-over discovered the hole towards the rear of the aircraft.
“He noticed a small hole in the exterior of the fuselage towards the rear of the aircraft,” said US Airways spokeswoman Liz Landau.
Landau said the Boeing 737 arrived at Charlotte from Philadelphia. She said there were no apparent problems during the flight.

Charlotte is —so busy— that when you are outside smoking in the only smoking area there are take offs and landings in front and back of you every 8 seconds. So any idiot could be anywhere around the airport and take aim. Or was it an accidental stray bullet?

How do they know it was a stray bullet? Could have been a micro meteor. Could have been anything.

Testing. There is an “Islamville” in York County within (ahem) shooting distance of the flight path into Charlotte.
Muslim village continues to evoke fears, rumors

YORK — From his home atop a rural ridge, Mayson Merk hears the drone of Arabic chanting from the forest below and the staccato crackle of gunfire in the night.

Stray Bullet? How about a probe, a test, a possible (lame) terrorist attempt on taking down an airliner? I guess North Carolinians shoot their rifles in the air for no reason just like Libyan rebels?

How do they know it was a stray bullet??? Can't you look at a bullet and see that it has wandered far from it's home?
To: Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!
How do they know that the bullet hit the plane when it was landing and not when it was taking off from Philly?

The article is retarded. At the very end it says it was not a terrorist act but they called the FBI.

Folks, keep your bullets on leashes. --or-- Remember, the best form of gun control is using both hands. --or-- Poor man's MANPADS...
