For the second time in as many days, a piece of an aircraft fell out of the sky onto a New York street, officials said Friday.

Police in the Howard Beach neighborhood of Queens near John F. Kennedy International Airport said a resident found a 9-foot-4-inch-long wing flap that apparently broke off a plane Friday morning.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it was investigating the discovery but did not yet know what type of plane the part came from.
