A recent Southwest flight experienced some damage and had to make an emergency landing.
Fortunately a keen passenger was able to speak to the press.
John Benson of Knoxville was on Flight 2294 with his two sons. Benson was planning on taking his sons to New York by way of Baltimore. What was supposed to be a nice family trip, quickly turned into one of the most frightening experiences of his life.
“Literally the whole top of the plane ripped off,” Benson said.
Southwest spokeswoman Marilee McInnis said a football-sized hole was located mid-cabin, near the top of the aircraft.
