A DC-10 plane is parked at Jose Maria Cordoba airport in Rionegro near Medellin March 27, 2009. A turbine engine fell off the DC-10 cargo plane, belonging to U.S.-based Arrow Cargo, shortly after taking off from Eduardo Gomes international airport, in Manaus, Brazil on March 26. The plane continued its planned flight to Colombia, although parts of the engine damaged 22 homes and one automobile but left no victims, authorities said.
