For the second time in as many days, a piece of an aircraft fell out of the sky onto a New York street, officials said. Police in the Howard Beach neighborhood of Queens near John F. Kennedy International Airport said a resident found a 9-foot-long wing flap that had gouged an 1.5-inch depression in the street. The flap came from the right wing of TWA Flight 782, a Boeing 727, as it approached the airport from Orlando, Fla., Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Salac said.
