Sichuan Airlines' cockpit window breaks, makes emergency landing; co-pilot injured

A Chinese Flight 3U8633 with 128 people onboard was forced to divert to Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province for an emergency landing after a cockpit window broke, injuring a co-pilot on the face and a crew member. Operated by Sichuan Airlines, the flight was en route from southwest China's Chongqing Municipality to Lhasa, capital of Tibet Autonomous Region. All passengers are safe. Here's more.
