Canadian Air Force training exercise ends with hole in roof of Miami home

MIAMI _ A Royal Canadian Air Force helicopter on its way back to Miami-Opa locka Executive Airport caused quite a stir in a Northeast Miami-Dade neighborhood Wednesday afternoon, according to police.

That's because an inflatable raft "separated from the helicopter" and fell through the roof of a home in the 14000 block of Northeast 10th Court, a police spokesman said.

The Canadian Air Force had been conducting an offshore training exercise.

Police say the raft was not inflated and it is not immediately clear how it detached from the chopper.

According to a report on WSVN 7, the raft was still packaged in a square that measured 2 feet by 2 feet, leaving a gaping hole about the same size.

Police say no one was injured by the falling raft.
