Woman Partially Sucked Out of Jet When Window Breaks Mid-Flight
« on: April 17, 2018, 03:18:16 PM »
https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Airplane-Makes-Emergency-Landing-at-Philadelphia-International-Airport-480008613.html

Not sure how much of the "sucked out" actually happened.  That was unclear.  An engine exploded and threw shrapnel at the fuselage and took out one window.  The jet descended rapidly and made an emergency landing. 



This was interesting.  Never having been in that situation, I can't say how I would react.

One terrified passenger posted a live video to his Facebook page during the ordeal. The grainy footage shows a man attempting to secure his yellow oxygen mask while updating loved ones following his feed.
"Something is wrong with our plane! It appears we are going down! Emergency landing!! Southwest flight from NYC to Dallas!!" Facebook user Marty Martinez wrote. He then added, "We are bracing for landing!!"

How did peanuts get sucked into the engine at 32,500 feet? 

Where did peanuts come from? 

Must be the aliens!

A seriously allergic engine just has to be on the same plane as the peanuts.

Well, three semi educated guesses. It was at altitude not long after takeoff. One, ate a really large bird or three climbing out, but think they would have noticed sooner and secured it.

My most likely is the inlet iced climbing out and a big chunk dislodged.

Or some A&PS and QA guys at a rebuild facility are sweating.

OK, outdoing United and American for passenger abuse was not a worthy goal.

Fox News reporting 1 fatality now.

This reminds me of either a Twilight Zone episode or an Outer Limits episode where on a prop plane the propeller comes off and slices through the cabin crew.

Did any of the passengers claim to see a gremlin on the wing?

News reports are saying paramedics were using a defibrillator. I'm wondering if it was a stress-induced cardiac event rather than a physical injury.

Looks like the fan seperated and destroyed the containment ring of the engine.  The photo I saw of the broken window was from behind the engine inlet and above the wing.  Nasty event.

Other way around.  The engine damage lead to the fuel leak and the fuel caught fire after landing. A minor fire, quickly extinguished.

Hopefully, you* listened to the safety briefing and will know how to correctly put on your O2 mask.  Also, you'll hang up your damn phone long enough to pay attention to the crew instead of Facegraming or Instabooking.

Yeah, descending at 3000 feet per minute and the breathing masks dropping down, getting on facebook live would NOT be my priority.

I would definitely not be taking any selfies. Remember, if you don't Facebook Live/selfie/live-Tweet it, it didn't happen. You can't die from something that never happened.

Aw come on, don't you want your employer to see that your first reaction to a stressful situation is to go as public as possible with your extremely limited understanding of what's going on?

From the linked article it looks like fatigue failure at the blade root caused a rotor burst event.  Containment structure failed to contain the shrapnel some of which penetrated the window.  Woman sucked out to her waist or hips.  Other pax pulled her back in, but between direct trauma, exposure to 500mph winds at 30k+ feet, and shock she didn't survive.
