This Cracking Plane Is What Flying Nightmares Are Made Of

Passengers were in for one scary ride when their American Airlines flight was forced to turn around and make an emergency landing on Monday. Those aboard the flight from San Francisco to Dallas were in for a horrifying surprise when the cabin walls began to separate and crack. The issue was later attributed to a ruptured air duct. Although the flight crew first indicated that the cracks were not an issue, after about half an hour in the air, an emergency was finally declared and the plane turned around and returned to San Francisco. This incident comes on the heels of another headache-inducing airplane incident — a recent passenger was escorted off a a US Airways flight after he made a joke about visiting Africa after he coughed.
