A United Airlines flight landed safely at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey after several interior panels fell down in midflight.
The problem occurred on United Flight 557, a Boeing 767, on its way from Houston on Tuesday.
There were 214 passengers on board. No injuries were reported, according to a United Airlines spokesman.
Video from one of the passengers appears to show exposed wires on the ceiling as someone holds up a ceiling panel.

Out of "an abundance of caution," police said they were acting on a bomb threat against a flight due to arrive at Newark Liberty International Airport from London this afternoon, police said.
Upon its arrival in Newark sometime around 1 p.m., the British Airways flight was diverted away from the main terminals, and taxied instead to a remote area of the airport, said Joe Pentangelo, a spokesman for the Port Authority Police.
Pentangelo said that the plane would be met by officers and searched, and that passengers and bags would be re-screened.
There were 206 passengers and 13 crew on board, he said.
