TAMPA (FOX 13) -
The FAA is still trying to figure out a mysterious
windshield crack that caused an airline from Tampa to make an emergency
landing.
U.S. Airways Flight 265 was taking 119 passengers from Tampa
to Albuquerque, N.M., when it had to touch down because the pilot noticed the
crack.
We're now hearing from some of the passengers, who said they
had no idea what was going on initially.
"We were told to buckle our seat belts, that there was some
turbulence, and immediately we started descending and then we were notified
that there was some sort of mechanical issue," said passenger Diane Koningsor.
There's no word yet on what caused the windshield to crack.
Koningsor said the gravity of the situation became clearer after the plane
landed safely.
"I think once we touched down it was a little bit scarier
seeing the actual windshield and knowing that we touched down and what could
have been," she said.
