CLEVELAND (AP) — Passengers are describing a relatively calm reaction to a cracked window on a Southwest Airlines plane that forced it to make an emergency landing in Cleveland.
That didn’t mean there wasn’t some anxiety.
Richard Foshee was sitting about five rows away and said his first concern was that it was a problem with the wing.
Foshee said when he realized it was the window, he thought it was “a little more manageable.”
Paul Upshaw of Chicago said he immediately thought back to the accident two weeks ago when an engine blew apart on a Southwest flight and pierced a window, killing a woman.
Upshaw said he was concerned the window might crack further.
He said passengers didn’t panic, but moved away from the window immediately.
