The tragic incident involving Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 occurred on April 17, 2018. During the flight, one of the Boeing 737-700's engines exploded, leading to a catastrophic sequence of events. Shrapnel from the engine shattered a window, causing rapid cabin depressurization. As a result, a passenger, Jennifer Riordan, was partially pulled through the broken window. Despite the heroic efforts of fellow passengers who pulled her back inside and administered CPR, Ms. Riordan tragically succumbed to her injuries.

The flight, originally en route from New York to Dallas, was forced to make an emergency landing in Philadelphia. The aircraft was piloted by Captain Tammie Jo Shults, a former US Navy fighter pilot, who was widely praised for her calm and skillful handling of the emergency. Her swift and composed actions during the crisis were crucial in averting a larger disaster.

In response to this incident, an investigation was launched, involving several parties including the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Boeing, and Southwest Airlines, among others. The initial findings of the investigation pointed to metal fatigue in one of the engine's fan blades as a possible cause of the failure.

And this “Woman”Pilot wants no fn praise because she’s a woman. Praise her for being a fantastically trained and great pilot.

No, it appears that is insulation. Normally it is in sealed bags, made to fit the area it is installed in. I imagine the bags popped during depressurization and the insulation started to come out.

They said the woman had severe head trauma, which I would expect after being blown out. The first thing that happens is your body slaps down against the skin of the aircraft, (kind of like a tube of Pillsbury biscuits being hit on the counter edge) so if she wasn't dead when she went out the window, that probably finished her off. Also, she may have been hit by the fan blade that came through the window. They weigh about 15 lbs, and at that speed, it probably embedded itself in her skull. They said they did CPR on her until landing, but I am willing to bet she was dead the whole time.
I did hear that they found the inlet and cowling pieces up to 75 miles away.
Freakish bad luck. It could just have easily gone some other direction. There is another video on here that was posted recently that shows an aircraft that lost it's entire fan assembly. But that one went outboard and disappeared, and no one got hurt.
A sad outcome. This is Southwest's very first passenger fatality in history. The only other airline with such a good safety record is Quantas, who in 75 years, has STILL never killed a paying passenger.

That's shows no one pays attention when instructions are given before the flight how to use the oxygen masks properly.

I would like to think this woman died a painless instant death. They said she was unconscious when the window broke the wind was sucking her lifeless body, initially it was reported she died from a heart attack. Just pray she didn’t feel anything that’s horrible
