A Southwest Airlines B733 operating a flight from Nashville to Baltimore suffered a sudden loss of cabin pressure, and was forced to make an emergency landing in Charleston, West Virginia. There were no injuries reported.
The loss of pressure seems to have been the result of the aircraft trying to do an Aloha 243, and losing part of its upper fuselage. Fortunately, this time the controlled breakaway sections did what they were supposed to do, and limited the damage to a small area.
