One Dead after Southwest Airlines Engine Explodes on Flight from New York to Dallas

9 years since the last US commercial passenger fatality? Not bad. Tragic. But not bad.

[archibaldcrane]

Pretty insane that shrapnel from the mid-flight engine explosion penetrated the cabin causing the death but the plane still was able to land safely.

[Salodin]

The decompression alone from the hole in the fuselage must have been scary as shit. To go through that, and then everything else up until the landing, jfc. What a nightmare.

Some more news coming out about the pilot. Apparently she's a complete beast of a person - https://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/th...ass-1825341463. Heck to handle landing the plane safely with this kind of stress. It's pretty amazing.

God damn. Shit reads like a mid 90’s action movie.

Ultimately curious to see if they find out this was sabotage since it happened so close to an inspection. Either way, it could've went way, way, worse. So props to pilot lady.

I experienced a routine e-landing (Delta) on Ascension Island in January 2013, and this thread wasn't here then. Hmph.

How long till a movie is made about this like "Sully?" In this case though it'll be starring Sandra Bullock. It'll be like Sully and Speed, in the air, with the star of Speed.

[Roranora]

This most recent emergency landing was definitely some fine aviation and piloting, but it's not quite as bold and brilliant as putting one down on a river and saving everyone in the 50 seconds before it sank.

Still, we've made movies about lesser events.

Some of my family's friends were on that C-130 too. It was due for retirement and the Puerto Rican ANG was in charge.

Google's Self-Driving Waymo involved in a Crash in Arizona, Is Not Actually at Fault

We are currently investigating a minor injury collision involving two vehicles, one of which is a Waymo autonomous vehicle. This afternoon around noon a vehicle (Honda sedan) traveling eastbound on Chandler Blvd. had to swerve to avoid striking a vehicle traveling northbound on Los Feliz Dr. As the Honda swerved, the vehicle continued eastbound into the westbound lanes of Chandler Blvd. & struck the Waymo vehicle, which was traveling at a slow speed and in autonomous mode. There was an occupant in the Waymo vehicle sitting in the driver’s seat, who sustained minor injuries. Both the Waymo vehicle & the Honda were towed from the scene. This incident is still under investigation.
