An emergency inspection has been called on Boeing aircraft series to avoid air disaster. This result was from metal fatigue and cracks in ageing planes found to be responsible for certain accidents. Undetected cracks had widened into a five-foot hole in the roof of a SouthWest Airlines flight in the U.S. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing at a military base. Today the US FAA is focused on ageing planes with more than 35,000 flight cycles to be inspected.

The NCAA has been taking this very seriously, as they should be. The cracks in these planes could have been a huge problem if they would have went unnoticed any longer. Many people could have got hurt in the plane that had to take an emergency landing at a military base. I feel it is good they are inspecting all of the ageing planes that have been flown for awhile. People should consider making the planes differently, so the cracks do not occur in the future on newer planes that become old.
