Southwest has grounded all its 737's for safety checks.

I wonder if this will affect other airlines operating 737's.

BBC news are also showing a report.

Push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. Pull the stick back, the houses get smaller (unless you keep pulling -- then they get bigger again)

The aircraft was an 737-300 registered N632SW.

The aircraft was on a Phoenix-Sacramento flight. Only one injury reported to an flight attendant.

Southwest have grounded all its 737-300 for checks they have 79 in total.

The damaged aircraft was built in 1996.
