Door falls off Boeing 767 and plummets to residential street



A landing gear door from a Boeing 767 fell off an unknown aircraft and fell into a residential area 12 miles southeast of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. 


Local authorities said no one was injured.


The part, a piece of metal the size of a refrigerator door,  fell in front of a home on a quiet street just before 7 a.m. on Friday, authorities said.


The FAA is trying to determine what aircraft lost the part in flight.
