A Southwest Airlines jet with a damaged engine and window made an emergency landing at Philadelphia's airport Tuesday, and one passenger was critically injured as she was sucked out the broken window caused by the engine blowing up. Other passengers quickly reacted and pulled her in.


Update: the women who was partially sucked out of the Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 has died, according to the NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt,

A former federal investigator theorized the plane blew an engine and the shrapnel hit the aircraft.

The Federal Aviation Administration said that the plane landed after the crew reported damage to one of the engines, along with the fuselage and at least one window. They didn't immediately explain what went wrong. The National Transportation Safety Board sent investigators to the airport.

"There's a ring around the engine that's meant to contain the engine pieces when this happens," Goglia said. "In this case it didn't. That's going to be a big focal point for the NTSB — why didn't (the ring) do its job?"

How vital is it that you get that window seat now? Me? I'll take the aisle seat and stretch my legs. Even better, an aisle seat next to the exit, so I can help people get the fuck out of the plane when the shit gets real.
