A Southwest Airlines jet headed to Baltimore from Nashville was forced to make an emergency landing Monday evening in West Virginia after a football-sized hole opened in the fuselage causing the cabin to lose pressure.
The incident led Southwest to order an overnight inspection of its entire fleet of Boeing 737-300s. Flight 2294 made a safe landing at Yeager Airport in Charleston, W. Va. There were no injuries among the 126 passengers and five crew members, a Southwest spokeswoman said.
