Gotcow? Posted April 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 The fan case on modern jet engines is designed to contain a blade and high energy debris that liberates from the hub at full power setting. The idea being to keep pieces from ripping thru the airframe and killing passengers or crashing the plane. google jet engine fan blade out test to see just how violent to the destruction is.

Eric Zilbert, another passenger, said "several heroic gentlemen" pulled the Riordan back into the plane and immediately performed CPR. Tranchin said she was covered in blood." "Jennifer Riordan, a New Mexico mother and business executive with a long history of volunteerism, was identified as the passenger who died on Southwest Flight 1380 after a harrowing tragedy unfolded when an engine exploded and blew out a window. It’s not yet clear whether Riordan was the same passenger who was partially sucked out a window, however. KOAT-TV identified the deceased passenger as Riordan, of Albuquerque, New Mexico. She was 43-years-old and a married mother of two children." RIP Turns out she had a pretty high position in Wells Fargo...they're going to release a statement later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryper Snyper Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Was flying from Atlanta to Philly. Scheduled to arrive at 1150 am. About 1130 the plane slowed to a crawl. Pilot said it was due to heavier than normal traffic. Now I know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george6308 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 The pilot and crew did an excellent job getting the plane on the ground. Female pilot one of the first female US Navy fighter pilots. Real TOP GUN. Philadelphia Fire Dept. and Police did their usually excellent job.

mybeach Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Southwest is supposed to start flying to the 50th state. No alternate landings between here and over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I flew a lot. a lot. And I love it, and I have been an aviation buff all my life. No fear at all But can you imagine the terror? Plane lands one engine. 150 mph breeze coming in a hole. Comes in with a weird yaw, grinds to a halt. Out of the plane and on the ground, and there it is, that decision. After that hellish vision, do I get right on another plane? Or stay the night in Philadelphia? “My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal.

My grandfather flew in bombers in WWII. He flew his own plane for many years after. He crashed once, minor injuries. He was up flying right away.

Fishing Pete Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I hope that woman didnt get her guts sucked out. Thats horrible. When the screaming stops its over. They said it was metal fatigue that caused the engine to implode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybeach Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 can't stop imagining dinghy charging the booze cart, stopping momentarily to stare at the ass plugging the window, determining if he would hit it, and forging ahead anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
