WFTS-TV reporter Michael Paluska was on the plane. A flight attendant told passengers that the plane did not lose cabin pressure, but the window cracks did force the plane to be diverted to Fort Lauderdale International Airport.
Passengers changed planes and arrived in Tampa at 3:31pm Sunday.
WFTS-TVreached out to Jet Blue and are waiting on a press release with more information on the incident.
