SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (KGO) -- An American Airlines jet bound for Dallas makes an emergency landing at the San Francisco International Airport when it looked like the inside of the plane was coming apart at the seams in midair.

A passenger caught a photo of the walls of the plane coming apart near the windows. Many of the passengers ABC7 News spoke to were feared the worst.

There were 184 passengers on board the flight. The FAA is investigating the bizarre incident and it wants to know what caused the walls of the plane to buckle during takeoff.

The American Airlines Boeing 757 was towed to a maintenance hangar at SFO after making an emergency landing.

It's a flight passenger James Wilson will never forget. He told ABC7 news, "All of the sudden we heard this loud pop, pop, pop, pop, pop really loud and a ripping sound."

Wilson heard the sounds just seconds after takeoff and thought the plane was breaking in two. He took a photo after part of the cabin wall on the sides and ceiling split apart near rows 14 and 15. You can even see exposed insulation near the window.

"It was terrifying; we didn't know what was going on. We were all shouting for the flight crew, 'Come, look, the walls are caving in!" Wilson said.

Flight attendants looked at the bucked walls and asked passengers if they could see cracks in the plane.

"They kept asking. To the gal sitting in front of me, I said, 'Look in there, do you see daylight?'" Wilson said.

After 45 minutes, the captain declared an emergency and told passengers he was returning to San Francisco.

"I was scared, I really was, and I wasn't sure if we were going to make it, but a little prayer," passenger Yvonda Little said.

A fire truck greeted the plane after a safe landing. American Airlines says the Dallas bound flight never lost cabin pressure, but they can't explain why the cabin walls popped. Some passengers were rebooked on other flights.

Little says she's still trying to get back to Indianapolis. She hopes the next flight home will be less exciting

Will be interesting to see what the FAA uncovers. But the cabin didn't depressurize if it had those passengers would have really had something to shit drawers about. The one passenger saying they saw daylight bullshit. That plane would start coming apart from depressurization. They will probably find the interior bulkheads came apart. Disturbing but probably no a threat to air worthiness.

It is pretty stupid, since if there was daylight the cabin would have depressurized and everyone would have known it.

It doesn't sound like they were in any danger, just the interior wall separated.

Drinks and passangers were flying around people were screaming and everyone thought "this is it." They managed to power it back up a couple thousand feet before impact and pull out of it.

I guess there was no announcement or explanation of any kind from the pilot. He was likely too busy cleaning out his pants.

OK now that would scare me. Had a Delta jet almost land 20 miles from the airport in Atlanta once. Popped out of cloud cover at about 500 feet with a rate of descent of about 2k per minute. Pilot hit afterburners like .2 seconds later. No one around me had any idea.
