Southwest Airlines Flight Diverted After Windshield Cracks

A Southwest Airlines flight traveling from Albuquerque to Baltimore was forced to make an emergency landing in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after its windshield cracked mid-flight.

The scary incident occurred on Monday afternoon, not long after Flight 2665 took off from New Mexico around 2 p.m. local time.

The Boeing 737 landed safely in Tulsa around 4:20 p.m. local time and no injuries were reported, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed.

The agency is now investigating the incident to hopefully determine the cause of the damage.

Passengers were put on a different aircraft to Baltimore, with the replacement plane reaching Baltimore about four hours late just before midnight local time.
