Wow scary shit. I hope she flies for free on Southwest for the rest of her life.

  LOL. You think she'll want to get near one of their planes ever again?
  • Casseres 9y ago
    I would! I'm realistic about the chances of another accident like that.
    • duskwuff 9y ago
      It's already happened once -- the odds of it happening twice to the same person are astronomical! ;)
      • Casseres 9y ago
        clarification: chances of any accident :-)

        The odds of happening to her (if she ever gets on a plane again) are the same as if it had never happened to her in the first place.

  That's if she can ever get on a plane again. I would take trains and boats if this ever happened to me.

    Jeez, I read this morning that she didn't make it. Terrible tragedy. I knew this would be the least of her problems, but I was rooting for her survival considering previous incidents (several described here) where passengers and crew survived decompression events. Thoughts are with her family and friends at this sad time. CFM are going to have to move fast on this one. Catastrophic engine failure like this could seriously dent people's faith in air travel (also, the CFM-56 engine has quite a history of blade failure leading to extreme engine damage[0]).

    There has been no mention of how the person died, and if that is the same person.
