Southwest Airlines Flight 1380

Jeremy Berke


1 Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 suffered an engine failure

that smashed a plane window, sucking a passenger halfway

out of the plane in midair.

A passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight on Tuesday

5 was partially sucked out of a window after an engine

exploded in midair.

The flight, traveling from New York to Dallas, was

forced to make an emergency landing in Philadelphia, and

the passenger — a 43-year-old woman named Jennifer

10 Riordan — died Tuesday at a hospital. It was the first fatality

in a US passenger plane accident in nine years.

Passengers on the flight described how, after the

explosion sent shrapnel into one of the plane’s windows,

Riordan was pulled halfway out of aircraft.

15 While passengers were able to pull Riordan back into the

plane, another passenger was said to have felt “severe

pressure” after positioning his back against the opening in the

cabin in an attempt to seal it.

When there’s an opening in an airplane during flight

20 (regardless of the cause), the plane will undergo rapid

depressurization.
