HAGAMAN, N.Y. — Officials say a propeller has fallen off a single-engine
plane and sliced through the roof of a home in upstate New York.

The Daily Gazette of Schenectady reports ( http://bit.ly/1J48eyQ ) the
owners of the home in the Montgomery County hamlet of Hagaman were out when
the accident occurred around 2 p.m. Thursday.

The plane had sustained enough altitude and speed so the pilot could safely
glide to a landing at the pilot's nearby private landing strip.

State police say no one was hurt.

Investigators say the Federal Aviation Administration was alerted and will
conduct a joint investigation with state police.

Police say the plane was older and encountered engine trouble as it was
flying over the rural village 28 miles northwest of Albany.

Officials say the propeller went into the home's attic, damaging the walls.

Luckily no bad injuries.

Fortunately this old boy had a runway handy
