CLEVELAND, OHIO — A Southwest Airlines flight flying from Chicago to Newark on Wednesday morning diverted to Cleveland because of a window crack. <br /><br />"On my way to NJ for work and #Southwest957 gets a window crack," passenger Alejandro Aguina posted over Twitter, according to USA Today. <br />The aircraft was carrying 73 passengers, and no injuries were reported, the airline said in a statement. <br /><br />The twin-engine Boeing 737 took off from Chicago's Midway International Airport at 9:53 a.m. and ascended to 33,000 feet over 20 minutes, according to Flightaware.com. <br />According to passenger Linda Holley, a loud noise was then heard and a large crack appeared in a window. <br />The plane then diverted to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and landed at 10:46 a.m. <br /><br />There was no depressurization of the cabin, so oxygen masks were not deployed, according to FAA spokesman Greg Martin. <br /><br />The aircraft has been taken out of service as investigators try and figure out the cause of the incident.
