Southwest 2294 Emergency Landing

A hole in the tail of a Southwest Airlines 737

An investigator looks at a hole on top of a Southwest Airlines plane which had to make an emergency landing in Charleston, W.V., Monday, July 13, 2009. Southwest Airlines ordered inspections of nearly 200 aircraft after a football-sized hole opened up in the passenger cabin of a plane during flight, forcing an emergency landing in West Virginia. Travelers on the 737 aircraft could see outside through the 1-foot-by-1-foot hole that appeared during the flight Monday. The cabin lost pressure, but no one was injured on the Nashville to Baltimore flight with 126 passengers and five crew members on board.
