Air Traffic Control Recordings Released In Boeing 737 Fuselage Rupture.
First Controller: "Southwest 812, is that you?"
Pilot: "It is. Requiring emergency descent. Declaring emergency. We've lost the cabin. Apparently we've got a hole in the fuselage in the back of the airplane."
First Controller: "Need like 10,000 feet. Can you approve that? He's doing it anyway."
Second Controller: "Yes. Yes, approved."
Pilot: "We're probably going to turn around and go back to Phoenix."
