Tag Archives: plane with hole in its roof

I suppose the one foot-square hole that developed in a Southwest Airlines jet over West Virginia Tuesday could have happened to any airline flying older planes. The 737-300 is twenty-eight years old, though this plane might be younger. That it happened to my favorite airline, the former "national airline of Texas" is just sad. It fits, unfortunately, into some of their questionable activities of late. Just stick to the no-crash policy, boys. Please.
