On Sunday, the department shared a sampling of some of the 911 and radio calls authorities received during the incident as people scrambled to make sense of what was happening. “There are parts everywhere, it is literally falling over the city,” says one frantic voice on the line.

Broomfield police spokeswoman Rachel Welte told a local news outlet there were some reports of homes being damaged by the debris, the extent of which is still being determined.
