TULSA, Okla. -- It's hardly a surprise to see rain, snow or hail falling from Oklahoma skies from time to time. However, residents at an Oklahoma apartment complex we surprised by what fell from the sky at them this week.
A bomb was inadvertently dropped from a military jet onto the Canyon Creek Apartments in Tulsa on Thursday, authorities said.
The couple who lives in the unit there was not home at the time, and officials said the bomb itself was a dud -- just a training weapon.
"We do not take off out of Tulsa with live bombs," said Maj. Gen. Bud Wyatt of the United States Air Force. "We don't take off out of Tulsa with live rockets or live missiles."
Military officials are trying to figure out how the pilot could have dropped the training weapon.
The jet pilot told authorities he didn't realize anything was wrong until he returned from his mission.
