BURGIN, Ky. — LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – New information has been revealed after an object smashed through a Mercer County man’s mobile home, damaging it.
The Federal Aviation Administration told WHAS11 News that the object didn’t come from an airplane.
The device, shaped like a cylinder, fell into Tommy Woosley’s mobile home in Burgin, Kentucky on Oct. 12. It went through the side of his trailer, damaging a wall and his bathroom. It is preventing him from taking showers.
The FAA sent an investigator to pick up the part and has now determined it did not come from an aircraft.
Kathleen Bergen, a rep for the FAA, told WHAS11 News they turned the case over to Norfolk-Southern railroad since the train tracks run near Woosley’s property.
Norfolk Southern’s media relations sent a statement:
“Norfolk Southern confirmed that the damage to the man's trailer home in Mercer County, Kentucky, was not caused by part of a Norfolk Southern engine or any NS device. Norfolk Southern was not involved.”
