Southwest plane makes emergency landing in Yuma

Southwest Flight 812 with 118 passengers on board made an emergency landing today (Friday)  less than an hour after it left Sky Harbor Airport at 3:25 p.m. bound for Sacramento, California. Reports indicate that a hole opened up in the ceiling of the plane, oxygen masks dropped down, and the pilot made a rapid descent to allow passengers to breathe better. The plane landed at 4:07 p.m. at Yuma Marine Airport and all passengers were reported to be safe. They will board another plane and are expected to arrive in Sacramento at around 8:30 p.m. tonight.  For more information go to our Statewide News link or to our Local Links, PHX Flight Status and click on "Squawks & Headlines" on the left hand side.
