Yesterday afternoon, a 737-300 (N387SW) operating as Southwest 2294 made a safe emergency landing at Yeager Airport near Charleston, West Virgina after depressurizing due to an apparent hole in the upper fuselage of the aircraft.
The incident has caused Southwest to inspect its 737-300 fleet, and according to the Seattle Post Intelligencer, Boeing is sending personnel to provide technical assistance to the NTSB.
