Southwest Airlines inspected all of its Boeing 737-300s Monday night and found no anomolies after one of its flights made an emergency landing in Charleston, W.Va., earlier in the day because a section of the fuselage skin ruptured near the crown, causing the cabin to depressurize. The airline said Tuesday, “There were minimal delays to our operation this morning due to those inspections (fewer than 20 flights were delayed about 30 minutes each). We are still working with the NTSB [National Transportation Safety Board] on a cause.”
