Southwest Passenger Says Windshield 'Exploded'

A flight from New Mexico to the East Coast made an unplanned stop in Oklahoma on Monday after a cockpit window gave way midair. Southwest Airlines says Flight 2665, which left Albuquerque around 2pm bound for Baltimore, made an emergency landing in Tulsa due to "a windshield crack." Passenger George Gonzales told KRQE that the windshield "started cracking, then it just exploded."

The outlet shared a photo of one of the two front windshields shattered, though still holding its shape. Gonzales said the pilots mentioned that nothing had struck the aircraft to their knowledge. The diversion occurred about an hour into the flight as the plane was at 37,000 feet, per Business Insider. Southwest said the flight "landed uneventfully" and that another plane took passengers on to Baltimore.
