Sources: Hole in US Airways jet caused by bullet
A hole in a US Airways jet that landed in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Monday was caused by a bullet, two government sources tell CNN.
The sources say a bullet has been recovered inside the Boeing 737-400.
The aircraft had flown to Charlotte from Philadelphia and was being prepped for another flight on Monday when the pilot discovered the hole above a passenger window toward the back of the plane, according to airline officials. The airline pulled the plane from service and called in the FBI.
"We do not believe it's terrorism related," said one of the government sources. "It appears to be a random event. We do not believe the plane was targeted."
One source told CNN that officials believe the bullet was fired in Charlotte after passengers had exited the aircraft.

Gotta love Patty, serious fits so well. At a girl Patty!
Ok Herbert No PDA: public displays of affection...move along you read patty...
I would think the hole got there after landing and disembarking otherwise it would have affected cabin pressure.
Ooops... .
Ralphie... . You'll shoot your eye out... .!
@Patty: it *is* a public forum, and just as you have a right to say what you want, so do we. Don't like it? Skip over our posts. They don't concern you, anyway. Have a pleasant evening.
Right. Public forum. Not chat room. Get on IM to talk to your buddies.
I watched a movie called Goldfinger..and the bad guy got sucked thru the bullet hole shot on the plane... .
Omg! My mom was right! I shot my eye out!
People on the ground shoot at air craft a lot more than you'd think.

wow.. Excellent accurate facts of the tax funded mischief machine of all time. Good one phillip.
So. . .if the bullet was fired at the plane while it was in Charlotte, it was likely on the runway. The bullet was above the window. . .not along the bottom of the plane. How could someone on the ground hit the plane at that angle from underneath the plane? And I also question how the bullet damage incurred BEFORE the flight to Philly did not affect cabin pressure? Could it have occurred while on the runway in Philly?
@2pac. You're really hooked on phonics. I'm surprised you know how to blog since you can spell or speak correctly.
I'm also in the same boat as raven. I don't think it was intentionally done to frighten people, but was just some moron near the runway in one of those "I bet you $100 you can't hit that jumbo jet." situations. That being said, this is likely where the investigation will end due to lack of information.
That or it could have always been a good old-fashioned Los Angeles drive-by. Hehe.
This blog is awesome full of useful information that i was in dire need of.
