Southwest Airlines: Federal proceedings show cracks were found and repaired a year ago in the casing of the Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-300 that made an urgent situation landing at an Arizona military base after a hole was ragged from the passenger lodge.
No one was badly injured Friday as the aircraft carrying 118 people quickly lost lodge pressure and made a distressing but controlled descent from 34,500 feet, landing safely near Yuma, Ariz., 150 miles southwest of Phoenix.
But passengers recalled tense minutes after a hole ruptured overhead with a blast and they fumbled frantically for oxygen masks as the plane descended.
