A 200-pound refueling hose fell 2,000 feet from the air last week and crashed into a vacant house on the Warm Springs Reservation in Oregon, Air Force officials said on Tuesday.

The 93-foot long hose fell from an Air Force cargo and transport plane during a refueling exercise. The Air Force has stopped refueling exercises over the reservation area in response to concerns raised by tribal officials.
