http://www.news.com.au/travel/southw...-1226032499217 http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...02/3180634.htm Southwest B737-700 had part of the roof disappear at over 10000 feet. I'm sure there are other stories with more pics than the ones I've linked.

When I read that I thought it was probably just a panel falling off the roof! But it also reminded me of Aloha Airlines Flight 243 when I read it then saw the photos! Glad no one was hurt.

Now this is some major damage. Apparently they have grounded 80 odd aeroplanes for inspections.

By the look of it a lap joint has given way.

I couldn't be bothered investigating too closely yesetrday and from glanced pics I'd just assumed it was a 733. A real worry for a 737-700.

Hi,
I was going to say, it didn't make sense to be a 737-700 as I'd imagine for that sort of thing to happen as a result of wear and tear (if that is the case), that a 737-700 is not old enough to clock up the cycles (re Aloha).
