Apparently landed at a military base in Arizona, after a gaping hole was torn ala Hawaiian style.

It's the second incident of this type involving SouthWest 73's.
Another Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-300 had suffered a similiar problem two years ago, see: Accident: Southwest B733 near Charleston on Jul 13th 2009, sudden decompression due to hole.
