Crack in airplane window frame!!!

This is scary for anyone who travels frequently by plane!!!!

Actual crack in a US Airways DC-9 window frame! Fliers beware of the sub standard maintenance on the airplanes that you fly on. This is an actual crack that was found in the window frame on a DC-9. I'll definitely think twice before flying USAir.

When the link works I'll have a comment. As a pilot on the MD-80 (DC-9) I can offer some words that may address your concerns. I can tell you now, however, that cracks happen and some are allowed and monitored as an on going concern.

Without seeing the photo though, I don't know if maybe you are making a joke or something. Don't worry, the government is watching. Everything will be OK.

At my office we refer to U.S. Air as "U.S. Scare".
