Officials said somewhere over Baltimore on Saturday, a panel from the left wing of a US Airways 757 flew off and hit the plane.

The wing part cracked a window on row 19 of the plane, Local 6 reported.

A reporter was among the 160 passengers on the flight and snapped some photos of the damage.

Pilots slowed the airplane down, flew at a lower altitude and moved passengers out of the row for the remainder of the flight.
