Southwest Airlines plane with cracked window diverted to Cleveland - News Summed Up

Southwest Airlines plane with cracked window diverted to Cleveland


A cracked window forced a Southwest Airlines plane heading from Chicago to New Jersey to land in Cleveland on Wednesday, two weeks after a jet engine blew apart and broke a window in a deadly accident aboard another Southwest flight. There were no reports of injuries after Flight 957 landed safely following an abrupt turn toward Cleveland while over Lake Erie. Dallas-based Southwest said the plane diverted to Cleveland for a maintenance review after the damage to one of the multiple layers of window pane. Passengers' photos taken from inside the plane and posted on social media showed one window with a large, jagged crack. The National Transportation Safety Board believes one of the blades snapped on the Southwest flight, hurling debris that broke a window.
