"It's a miracle that there was no victim," breathes the 68-year-old woman.
Sunday May 22, a piece of a Rafale crashed on the roof of his house, in the town of Gensac-la-Pallue in Charente.
Two Rafales collided during an exhibition flight for the Cognac air show.
A tail fin of one of the two fighter planes unhooked and crashed on the roof of this house.
Even if no victim is to be deplored, a window, the roof and the gutter were destroyed.
"I was not at home, it was the mayor who warned me that there was a piece of plane that had fallen on my roof", says the resident victim of the disaster.

Romuald Goudeau (Un jour une photo), freelance photographer, present for the event, managed to take a snapshot of the hanging… Without realizing it “I noticed black dots in my viewfinder.
At first I thought it was a lure drop, but I thought it was weird.
Then, in the next second I said to myself, but no, it's surely birds.
It was only in the evening when looking at my images and having had the information of the accident that I realized that I had photographed the collision, ”explains Romuald Goudeau.
The damaged Rafales are planes from the Mont-de-Marsan base.
No injuries were reported as a result of this accident.
