CHARLESTON, West Virginia - Passengers on a Southwest Airlines plane applauded and hugged the pilot for a safe emergency landing in West Virginia after a hole measuring 1 foot by 1 foot appeared in the fuselage.
Passenger Michael Cunningham, whose seat was right below the hole, told NBC's "Today" show Tuesday that he was awakened by a loud roar while dozing on the flight.
"You could see the sky through it," Cunningham said. "I could put my arm out of it if I wanted to."
