First US commercial jet related death since 2009. Awful story, the victim was a mother of 2. I know fear of flying is completely irrational and it is much more dangerous driving to the airport, but this certainly doesn’t help.
Excellent job by the pilot for successfully landing during chaos.

737NGs don't have Pratt & Whitney engines. They have CFM engines, which is a joint venture between GE and a French company.

That being said, this is the 2nd Southwest 737 with an uncontrolled engine failure.
skimaster, this isn't the NY Times. We don't like erroneous statements here on BBI.
I apologize. This is a great call out and def important to note the other pilot.
In any case both are very busy and there is a defined delegation of duties to ensure someone is focused on flying the plane at all times.
I read a bit about this earlier but it was unclear -- is the woman who died the same woman who was rescued from being... holy shit, sucked out of the goddam plane?
Improved my odds for another safe flight.
I suspect you were thinking of the UAL 777 uncontained engine failure en route to HNL in which a few fan blades were “liberated”... in that case a PW4000 series motor.
I think the words you are looking for are sensational and slanderous.
It's 60 minutes, dude.
What was it about?
There was already a pretty extensive hit piece on Allegiant a few years ago in a major publication which was a catalyst in major organizational changes for the positive. The 60 Minutes program was a bit sensationalized for my taste.
Improved my odds for another safe flight.
Classic gambler's fallacy. Your odds did not change at all.
But it sounds like from the reports she was already dead when she was being sucked out. Her head suffered massive trauma as it banged against the widow.
SW has had 2 uncontained engine failures in the past couple years. I believe they outsource some maintenance to an El Salvador company. Those practices will obviously be under scrutiny as will all of LUV's in house maintenance as well.
One of the coolest jobs I ever heard of.
From a different part of the web:
"Witness on the news said the woman's body above the waist was outside the plane. They pulled her back in and did CPR for about 20 minutes but it was not going to be enough to save her."
I recall a Mythbusters episode where they disproved that the cabin pressure would equalize that rapidly
"Part of the plane is missing and they said someone went out the window."
A tragedy for the lady who died but great job by all concerned to get everyone else safely on the ground.
