TAMPA, Fla. - A Southwest Airlines flight had to make a return trip to Tampa International Airport after the first officer's side window cracked.

A spokeswoman for the airline says the window cracked just after takeoff to Chicago-Midway Airport on Saturday at 1:45 p.m. The plane returned to Tampa and landed safely.

All 135 passengers were put on another aircraft, and the plane was taken out of service.

No one was injured in the incident.
