Watch: plane's cabin panels split open mid-flight

An American Airlines flight heading from San Francisco to Dallas made an emergency landing when the cabin's wall panels cracked loose.
The Boeing 757 departed from San Francisco International Airport shortly before 1 p.m EST Monday, and the captain decided to turn around an hour into the flight to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport because of a possible blown air duct.
Flight 2293 landed without incident about 2:15 p.m EST. No one on the plane with 184 passengers and six crew members was hurt. Even though the plane's problem is related to pressurisation, the cabin did not lose pressure and oxygen masks did not deploy.
James Wilson of Kyle, Texas shot video of the crack and posted it on his Facebook page so his wife, who was en route to Dallas to pick him up, would know what had happened in case of a crash.
The Federal Aviation Administration will work with the airline to determine the plane's problem and correct it before it flies again. American Airlines sent a different plane to fly the passengers to Dallas on Tuesday.
