A football sized hole opened up in the passenger cabin of a Southwest jet over West Virginia, triggering an emergency landing - and immediate inspections of some 200 planes.
Travelers aboard the Boeing 737 on Monday could see straight through the square-foot hole, which formed on the aircraft's ceiling.
The cabin lost pressure, but no one was hurt on the Nashville to Baltimore flight carrying 126 passengers and five crew members.
