(CNN)Southwest Flight 957 from Chicago to Newark, New Jersey, made an emergency landing Wednesday after a window cracked, passengers said.
The flight was diverted to Cleveland, Ohio, after a report of an issue with a window aboard the aircraft, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Elizabeth Cory said. It landed safely at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Cory said.
Passenger Linda Holley texted her son Ryan with a picture of the damaged window.
“Window on plane cracked during flight. Landing in Cleveland to be safe. Everything ok but scary,” one of her texts read.
In another, she said: “Yes Southwest. Just heard loud noise. Very large crack with piece of window missing at bottom. Just landed. Everything ok. Don’t know plan yet”
（中央社紐約2日綜合外電報導）美國西南航空公司原定從芝加哥飛紐瓦克的載客噴射機，今天因為一面窗戶破裂而轉降。西南航空一架波音737客機兩週前才因發動機爆炸，碎片擊破窗戶而迫降，導致一人喪生。
法新社報導，西南航空公司（Southwest Airlines）告訴法新社，飛機轉降克里夫蘭-霍普金斯國際機場（Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport），進行「其中一扇多層玻璃窗的維修」，並強調飛機「平安降落」。
聲明指出：「這架飛機已停飛進行維修檢查，我們的克里夫蘭職員正努力提供76名乘客轉搭另一班機前往紐瓦克（Newark）。」
西南航空強調，每一扇窗戶都是多層玻璃窗，因此編號957航班當時「保持加壓」。
據飛行資料公司FlightAware網站，這架波音737-700當地時間上午8時53分自芝加哥中途國際機場（Midway International Airport）起飛，10時46分降落克里夫蘭。
