Southwest pilot to passengers: 'We're going down'

[yuiyoshida]

The pilot of a Southwest Airlines flight gave passengers a scare Tuesday when he announced over the loudspeaker that the plane was "going down."

"He said, 'We're going down,'" Shelley Wills, one of the passengers on the Boeing 737 en route from Tampa, Fla., to Raleigh-Durham International Airport, told ABC's affiliate there. "And everyone is looking around like, 'Is this a joke? Is he serious?' And then you felt the nosedive."

"At first it sounded like someone was coming over the PA to talk," Grace Stroud, another passenger, told CNN. "Then it sounded like shots through the cabin, twice, back to back. Seconds later, the panicked captain said, 'We're in trouble, we're going down.'"

Wills said she tried to console a woman seated next to her who was clutching her chest. "I'm thinking, 'Oh my God, she's going to scare herself into a heart attack,'" Wills said.

7. The plane dropped a bit...but they pulled into another airport

emergency landing, but they did not require any fire trucks or have the passengers slide down the emergency slides.
