--------------------------------------

Luebeck - Turbulence from the wake of a landing Ryanair jet blew roof-tiles off a house near Luebeck airport, an airport spokeswoman said Friday. The tiles were sucked off the roof by a swirling column of air and dashed into the garden beneath, frightening the 81-year-old female occupant of the house in northern Germany, local media reported.

The precise cause of the incident was not clear however, as airport authorities said that the jet was at its normal approach- height when it overflew the house. Eyewitnesses, the Luebecker News said, claimed that the plane was flying too low.

"We regret this incident, and are taking it seriously," airport spokeswoman Kirsten Nielsen said.
