Seventy flights from Southwest Airlines Co. were canceled on Monday as the inspection of Boeing 737 planes continued. The action was implemented after a Southwest plane with a hole in its fuselage had an emergency landing on Friday.

Southwest’s Flight 812 was supposed to head to Sacramento from Phoenix when a 5-foot long tear opened its fuselage about 20 minutes after it had taken off the airport. Southwest only runs Boeing 737 planes.

Whitney Eichinger, spokeswoman of Southwest Airlines, said seventy flights out of around 3,400 daily flights were canceled on Monday. She said out of seventy-nine older models of Boeing 737-300 that were inspected after the incident last Friday, thirty-three of them had been conferred back to service.

Over the weekend, Southwest Airlines canceled about 600 flights as it inspected 737-300 planes for cracks in fuselage and fatigue. The discount airline said there were cracks found in two other planes.

The Boeing Company has no immediate reply on Monday. According to aviation officials, the aircraft manufacturer is expected to render service bulletin to 737-300 operators all over the world to inspect the planes affected, particularly those of heavy use. Currently, there are about 280 Boeing 737-300s in the United States and a total of 900 around the world.

Analyst James Higgins of Soleil Securities said the cancellations of the Southwest flights might cause the company some revenue loss, However, he doesn’t think the effects of the incident will last.

On Monday morning trading, Southwest’s shares dropped 2.6 percent at $12.34. Meanwhile, shares of Boeing dropped 0.2 percent at $73.84.

Sensational pop singer Justin Bieber had the chance to visit one of his wax figures on Tuesday at Madame Tussauds museum located in London.

Bieber took a short break from his world tour just to stand beside a wax model of himself. His wax double is dressed in a red and black plaid shirt matched with a pair of black jeans.

The replica is just one of the three Bieber wax figures currently being revealed in public. The other waxworks can be found in Madame Tussauds branches in New York and Amsterdam.

The 17-year-old singer said it is pretty unbelievable to see the waxwork. He also joked on how small the replica was, saying he is definitely six inches taller than the guy beside him.

The wax statue, which was based on the real Bieber eight months ago, appears smaller than the real Bieber today. This is because the real Bieber is expected to change and grow rapidly throughout the eight months it took them to make the wax model, said Liz Edwards, spokeswoman for the Tussauds museum.

However, Edwards said everyone is paying particular attention to his hair. She said it was the wax model’s hair that was the biggest challenge when it was created.

Bieber is now one of the biggest pop stars in the world. His albums include “My World,” as well as “My World 2.0.” The pop singer, who was accompanied by his mother, was welcomed by a few fans at the event.

The singer said he would preferably want his wax figure to be positioned close to Tupac Shakur, an American rapper.

Bieber has still two concerts to perform in London before he will go on tour to several other cities in Britain. After that, he will be heading to mainland Europe.
