Jet Engine EXPLODES at 32000 Feet | Southwest Airlines Flight 1380

Being with your upper body outside of a aircraft as its flying full speed in that altitude must have been to brutal to even be able to be imagined. RIP.

Capt. Tammie was rejected by the USAF, and ended up becoming a Naval aviator. They wouldn't let her fly any combat sorties in the Gulf, but she was good enough to train other pilots. In the end she handled this disaster as good as anyone could. Now she's got a few decorations from the military and she's in the International Air & Space Hall of Fame.

As a 34 year flight attendant at Southwest, it can’t be overstated how well Tammy Jo handled this emergency.

American Military here. I will be suggesting this video as a training aid. Even though we aren't aviation, this is an ASTOUNDING example of what "Chain of Command" is actually for. The first officer is continuing to assert his points, which he has every reason to do. And he is being over-ruled by an equally experienced officer who is very aware that she has to choose one of two approaches--each with complicated pros and cons. Both her and the flight crew understand how to assess and assume risk, when choosing to deviate from protocol. And the first officer is also willing to trust that his captain's position is one that needs support, once a path is chosen. Even still, he reiterates his position consistantly, and she consistently weighs his wisdom every time. That is a marvelous display of how every critical team should function.

Can we just take a sec to appreciate the level of technical detail and animation, you come to

Late but just wanted to say that I really admire the first officer in this situation. Having the presence of mind in the middle of everything to continue to be the best assistance possible by even questioning the captain if needed. Takes proper CRM to execute this situation as effectively as they did.

Kudos to the passengers. They (1) helped pull the passenger back in, (2) provided emergency aid, (3) helped kept the cabin crew safe when they had to sit in the aisle. Though it's still sad that there was a fatality, the willingness of the passengers to help really restores my faith in humanity. For up there in the air, we're in it together.

The most important part of this story to me was that Southwest didn't wait for lawsuits or even a full investigation, they immediately took fault and paid the family for the loss. Any other airline would have evaded any questions or involvement until they knew whether it was their fault or not, and then began litigation to distance themselves from the incident if it wasn't their fault. Southwest is pricey, but I can't imagine flying another airline and putting up with such corporate bullshit.

Captain Tammy's later interview and ATC recording transcript was amazing. She was so cool, calm and professional and later showed so much respect for her crewmates and empathy for the deceased passenger. She's truly a class act. SWA should be very proud to have someone like her. This really demonstrates aviate, navigate and communicate in that order.

This crew absolutely nailed this emergency. Its easy for us to comment what we would do differently but the reality is they did what they felt was right at the time. They got the plane down safely.

I've listened to the recorded and published ATC conversation. The way she handled the situation was phenomenal. Clear minded, absolutely calm and collected. Talk about professionalism.

The woman, Jennifer Riordan, who lost her life was from Albuquerque where I live. She was very active in the community and loved by everyone who knew her. Her daughter is in my daughter’s boyfriend’s son’s class in high school. The pilot did an amazing job of landing the plane.

We're now coming up on 13 years since there was an accident fatality on a US airline apart from this most unfortunate woman. RIP. That means that there has been but one death over the last ~130 million commercial flights by US-based airlines. It is an absolutely staggering record of safety that speaks to the commitment and hard work of countless professionals all across the aviation industry.

I have been one of her passengers - not on that flight, but I’ve been on her plane. She is an excellent pilot and I would trust my life with her any day

First Officer was top-notch during this time when pilots truly earn their pay. Captain Tammie Jo gets my salute as well for outstanding nerves and composer during multiple emergencies.

The captain got all the glory but this FO was a freaking rockstar.

I remember listening to it on live ATC, and that captain was so calm and composed. She showed an extremely high level of professionalism. Truly an amazing pilot

You’ve highlighted so many incidents where CRM failed, it’s great to see an example of excellent CRM. Kudos to the flight crew and thank you, Petter, for the great content!

I just flew in a 737 700. As a passenger, you could feel the enormous power of the engines on takeoff, and when the pilots used reverse thrust when we landed at San Diego International, which is an airport that's a little more demanding to land at. Good analysis of what happened during this flight. RIP to the woman passenger who lost her life.

I have been absolutely binging this channel. I'm not a particularly nervous flyer nor am I much of an aviation enthusiast, but these videos are so addictive. I love the calm matter of fact delivery of such harrowing situations. Thanks for this amazing channel
