Dangerous incident in the Netherlands: falling parts of a Boeing 747-400F cargo plane injured two people.
Shortly after the start, a fire broke out in one of the four engines of the machine, said the police in Maastricht.
Some pieces of metal fell to the ground over Meerssen in the north of Maastricht.
Several cars and houses were damaged.
An elderly woman was hit in the head and had to be treated in the hospital, the police said.
A child was also reportedly slightly injured and burned when trying to pick up debris from the floor.
