#WN1380 Southwest Engine Explodes in midair and a Window Breaks!

If anyone has further information and official reports, please reply to this comment. One person has oficially been reported dead so show your condolences here. Rest in Peace. Congratulations to the pilots and Captain Tammie for bringing the aircraft back to the ground safely. Special thanks to my followers on Discord server for their help. We've worked hard to bring this video as soon as possible. Related event --> https://youtu.be/3mJCI-NCxoI

She sounds like this is average, ordinary business. Handled LIKE A BOSS. Amazing professionalism.

Damn, the captain's carrier history is insane. U.S. Navy flight instructor, aggressor pilot, time in a ground attack squadron, electronic warfare squadron and one of the first female naval aviators to qualify in the F/A-18. First officer is former Airforce, you could not have picked a better crew in this kind of situation, though it is a shame that anyone has to be.

Captain's name is Tammie Jo Shults, she is retired navy pilot and pilot instructor, she did amazing job during this incident.

How often do you hear "Good day" at the end of an emergency transmission? Incredible amount of professionalism by everyone involved. Rest in peace to the deceased.

Tragic event, great job to the pilots.

Incredible professionalism by all those involved during this terrible tragedy. Excellent work by the pilots especially after a catastrophic engine failure, terrible hull damage and depressurization. Thank you VAS for getting the video up so quick. We always learn so much from these. RIP the deceased

Something you don't notice is that ATC was redirecting a very large amount of traffic away from the airport to give SW1380 a clear shot to the airport. I heard a snippet on another channel, and ATC did a phenomenal job of clearing a path for them. R.I.P. Jennifer Riordan, the passenger who passed away, and kudos to everyone for getting that plane down on the ground as safely as possible.

Wow this pilot is an absolute unit.

She's so calm the whole time, but you can still absolutely tell when she got the news of someone potentially going out the aircraft. The upset she's pushing down to keep calm and save everyone else is incredible..

At every accident / incident i'm so impressed about the professionnalisme of the pilots and ATC.

"part of the aircraft is missing" is one of those sentences that you never, NEVER want to hear. You could tell everyone got a little rattled when she said that, but they still did an incredible job staying calm and getting the plane on the ground safely. RIP Jennifer Riordan.

the one thing i appreciate about tammie’s communication is how slowly and clearly she is speaking. so many of these videos have the pilots talking very quickly even without any emergency present. you can hear the experience and professionalism in her voice even after she clearly learns about the victim of this incident around 6 minutes into this video

This is by far your best work and you got it all put together so quickly. You provide such a valuable service that not even the media has ever done any reporting so concise and factual. With this video we know exactly what went on with the crew especially. Thanks.

6:50 freaking chills.

After Tammie landed the plane she went to her passengers and gave them hugs , thanking those who helped. The woman who passed away had a little girl sitting next to her and then a woman after the child. Both tried to pull the victim back into the plane but could not so they were holding her by the waist and belt loops to keep her in. What an amazing child instead of breaking down in terror (as I would have) she grabbed on to help. A lot of good people on that flight but RIP to Jennifer Riordan my heart breaks for her family.

You can hear her voice change after the report of missing aircraft piece, she knows someone is dead or dying. A sad day.

Everyone here showed excellent professionalism and amazing calmness, but you can still hear at 6:45 how that announcement rattled the controller. That's when things went to another level.

I want this lady at the controls if I'm ever on a crippled jet! I know these guys are all extremely highly trained professionals but damn, she was so calm she was almost asleep! Superbly well done!!

For people trying to say they didn't know there was a loss of pressure, you're not familiar with the definitive cabin pressure warning horn heard in the background at 0:34. The monotone buzzing is every 737 pilot's immediate indication that the cabin pressure is differentiating too far from what they set it to. In these cases, it goes off immediately along with oxygen masks dropping automatically at the same time. They knew, but it's not like they had the time to explain everything. They have more important things to focus on, such as getting back on the ground with what's left before things get worse. The questions get answered afterwards.
