Engine explodes during Southwest flight
By Danielle Furfaro

A woman was nearly sucked out of a Southwest Airlines jet when an engine exploded mid-flight Tuesday — and she had to be pulled back by fellow passengers, according to reports.

Flight 1380 had departed from LaGuardia Airport and was on its way to Dallas when the engine blew at about 11:30 a.m.

A piece of shrapnel shattered a window, and a female passenger was sucked toward the hole.

“One passenger, a woman, was partially … was drawn out towards the out of the plane … was pulled back in by other passengers,” Todd Baur, the father of a passenger, told NBC10.

“Someone on the plane had a heart attack and it looks like an engine blew out then a window was blown open. We are still on the plane and they are trying to revive a woman on the plane” Marty Martinez posted on Facebook

You’re idiot for taking a selfie and an even bigger idiot for not wearing your mask correctly.

"A large amount of fluid, possibly jet fuel, was seen under and trailing behind the left side of the plane."

Sounds like 60 Minutes needs to do a segment on SWA.

I commute on you guys all the time, always fantastic service and safety. Looks like this crew had their hands full and did a professional, outstanding, and exemplary job as professional aviators. Cheers!

It’s an AA hub! Happy to see another operation provide any and all assistance possible.
