The National Transportation Safety Board called Thursday for a one-time inspection of the nation's fleet of nearly 700 Boeing 757s to make sure there are no fatigue cracks or improperly installed parts that could lead to a wing panel falling off in flight.
In March, a panel measuring about 4 feet by 5 feet separated from the wing of a US Airways 757 at 27,000 feet and hit several passenger windows, cracking the outer pane of one window.
