The FAA says that Southwest Airlines has grounded at least 42 planes for "possible structural damage," says the Dallas Morning News. The announcement comes after the FAA proposed record-breaking fines after an investigation uncovered that Southwest may have kept 46 planes flying even though they required safety inspections for fuselage damage.
The airline has also placed 3 employees on administrative leave.
