"The bolt most likely came from a Boeing 747 or 767, Ten reported.

Sydney Airport officials said no aircraft had reported mechanical
problems, Ten said,
==which suggested the bolt wasn't in use at the time it fell from
the plane==

Good thing they didn't try to use the bolt in flight.

A new meaning for " A bolt from the blue. "

Old meaning, lightening from a clear sky.
