Atrecord Supersonic April 18, 2018 Share April 18, 2018 The silver lining is the rest of the people on the plane survived... Can't imagine what went through their mind from the time it happened, until the time the plane managed to land... http://www.straitstimes.com/world/united-states/southwest-plane-makes-emergency-landing-in-philly-damage-to-exterior Southwest Airlines plane's engine explodes in mid-air; woman passenger killed after nearly sucked out of window PHILADELPHIA (REUTERS) - An engine on a Dallas-bound Southwest Airlines flight with 149 people aboard apparently exploded on Tuesday (April 17), forcing an emergency landing in Philadelphia as one passenger was killed after she was nearly sucked out a window of the plane, the airline and federal officials said. The fatality on the flight from New York was the first in a US commercial aviation accident since 2009, according to National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) statistics. After an engine on the plane's left side blew, it threw off shrapnel, shattering a window and causing cabin depressurisation that nearly pulled out a female passenger, according to witness accounts and local news media reports. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic April 18, 2018 Share April 18, 2018 Ok I think no one wants window seats in the future... Window's seats safer cos there is still a panel of wall as most seat just 1 foot away from the small window.... It the middle and arise seats without their seat on will get suck out. I always make a point to have my seat belt on during the whole journey although safe to remove them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, no smoking allowed. But if 1 goondu die die want to test system... at least there is a place for them to dispose it properly and not create a fire hazard.

Camrysfa Turbocharged April 18, 2018 Share April 18, 2018 The pilot of the flight was Tammie Jo, one of the first woman to fly the F18 during her USN career. She is being credited highly for safely landing the damaged plane. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
