• Southwest Airlines Flight 957 was forced to make an unscheduled landing on Wednesday in Cleveland, Ohio after one of its windows failed. 
• The cause of the incident is unclear.
• The incident occurred just weeks after Southwest Flight 1380 made an emergency landing in Philadelphia when an engine failure blew out one of its windows, nearly sucking a passenger out of the cabin.
• Airplane windows are rather durable and are made up of multiple layers.

On Wednesday, Southwest Airlines Flight 957 was forced to divert to Cleveland after the outside pane on one of its windows failed.

The incident comes on the heels of Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 which made an emergency landing in Philadelphia after an uncontained engine failure blew out one of the Boeing 737's windows on April 17. The resulting decompression nearly sucked a passenger out of the window. That passenger, Jennifer Riordan, later died from her injuries.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
