AKRON, Ohio -- People in an Akron neighborhood are counting their blessings after a life-flight helicopter crew made a dangerous mistake. An unidentified falling object that turned out to be an oxygen tank tore a hole in an apartment building roof, reported NewsChannel5's Brad Harvey. Neighbors at first couldn't figure out what the large metal cylinder that made the hole was.
"It was like, boom. I said, 'Dang, it's like someone's still setting off firecrackers here,' sounded like an M-80," said neighbor Bobby Davis.
It left a huge hole in the roof just a few feet away from where Steve Siefring was sleeping inside. He was so beat after working third shift, the landlord had to wake him up so he could climb up to see what it was.
"They went out my front window, and I was asking them, "What's up there?' And they said, 'An oxygen tank,'" said Siefring.
